'pass' => 'lib' . DS . '.ht_pw', // MySQL password override

Also if you move this to a separate conf.php, it will be nice

This one is meant to be a super simple plain text one-off password for the MySQL settings mainly to avoid hard wiring a password in index.php so the project could be safely updated in a public git repo without revealing the MySQL password (if used). The separate optional override config file you mention is really...

spe/08-Users/index.php

Line 18 in 1e6eaf1

$file = 'lib' . DS . '.ht_conf.php', // settings override

That file can override, or add to, all the "global" config variables in the index.php file. The lib/.ht_pw is just a simple alternate "mysql password only" option to the main config override file. I hope this makes sense.

Update: sorry, I didn't answer your question in the Subject line... it's just plain text, not a PHP variable or enclosed in quotes, just My_Mysql_Password. It's used here like this...

spe/08-Users/lib/php/db.php

Line 19 in 1e6eaf1

$pass = file_exists($pass) ? trim(file_get_contents($pass)) : $pass;

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'sysadm'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

-- All the time error

In index.php, change this line to whatever you MySQL password should be, from...

'pass'  => 'lib' . DS . '.ht_pw',

to...

'pass'  => 'YOUR_MYSQL_PW',

and in lib/php/db.php change line 12 from...

error_log(__METHOD__);

to

error_log(__METHOD__ . ' dbcfg=' . var_export($dbcfg, true));

and check your web servers error_log file for the database config entries passed into this class.

'pass' => 'lib' . DS . '.ht_pw', is only needed if you want to push this modified project back to a public git repo so that the MySQL password is not visible. The default .gitignore excludes all .ht* files.
