` with the password configured within `ampache.cfg.php`. Can be checked as follow
```auto
cat /mnt/dietpi_userdata/ampache/config/ampache.cfg.php | grep database_password
```
Now, you should be able to open Ampache page again and perform the database update

Can confirm this method works!
Additionally, it would be awesome if this method made it’s way to dietpi-software’s script so that it doesn’t rely upon a outdated database dump.
I am testing dietpi-software with the database url string changed but it currently seems inadequate.

Also, the dietpi software docs stating that the username and passowrd to be ‘root’ and ‘dietpi’ is no longer true this way.
Neither does any user named ‘root’ or ’ dietpi’ exists.
However, using this link [http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/ampache/install.php?action=show\_create\_account&htmllang=en\_US&charset=](http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/ampache/install.php?action=show_create_account&htmllang=en_US&charset=) will work to create a new admin account!

Yes, this is a small disadvantage because the workaround uses an empty database from Ampache. Therefore our user could not exist at all 😉
Need to talk to @MichaIng how we are going to work around.

So we need to update our database dump. Since on Buster Ampache v4.4.3 is installed, we probably need to provide two dumps, if the v4 dump cannot be upgraded to v5 either.
It’s nasty there there is not API to do the database changes. Doing it manually wouldn’t be maintainable due to the regular changes.

@MichaIng
Probably a better option, we use the default Ampache SQL dump located at `/mnt/dietpi_userdata/ampache/resources/sql/ampache.sql` as base to build the databse initally. This way no DB update is needed at all 😉
Once done, user can open following link to create initial admin user.
- [http://192.168.0.x/ampache/install.php?action=show\_create\_account&htmllang=en\_US&charset=](http://192.168.0.x/ampache/install.php?action=show_create_account&htmllang=en_US&charset=)
Benefit, every user can create own user/password and we don’t use a default anymore. Furthermore, we don’t need to deal with maintaining the DB dump anymore. 😃

Probably you are right. The only other thing we might want to adjust is the music directory, but this can be done safely via `sed` on the SQL file, I guess.

@MichaIng I’m not sure but I guess we never finished this discussion? right?
