Retrieving Your Sendy Database Password
Welcome to Part 14 of Installing Sendy and Virtualmin on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This page describes how to retrieve your Sendy database password from Virtualmin to enable the Sendy software to work. (Source: Tharindu Kumara)
Here are the steps to follow
1) If you have recently completed Part 10, you may already be logged in to Virtualmin.
Otherwise, log in to Virtualmin by navigating to Your Virtualmin Installation URL within your browser:
(For the purposes of this guide, I have used testdemo.colcolmail.co.uk:10000)
The username is root and the password is the server root password you set within Part 3. Then click Sign in.
2) Within the left-hand Virtualmin menu, select Edit Databases:
3) The Edit Databases menu should now appear:
A database with the name of Your Chosen Subdomain should already exist.
Click Passwords.
4) The Change database passwords option should now appear:
Click the key symbol.
5) The Password for MySQL database will now appear, and is your Sendy database password:
IMPORTANT!
Make a note of your Sendy database password as it will be used within Part 15. Your Sendy database password will differ to the one shown in the screenshot above.
(The Username for MySQL database displayed should be Your Chosen Subdomain).
6) All done!
Stay logged in to Virtualmin, and click here to start Part 15. Alternatively, click here to return to the Introduction.

Happy installing!

I Can Do Exactly What I Was Doing With MailChimp!
When I left MailChimp, my monthly bills were around $100, because of the size of my email lists. Well, now with Sendy I only pay for what I send, right?
Amazon SES basically bills $0.10 per 1,000 emails sent. As I send around 10,000 emails per month, it means that my monthly bill for email marketing went from $100 to … $1! Not too bad for one day of work and a one-time $59 fee.
MailChimp 'Disruptor'. $59 One-Off Fee. Full Refund Available.
