    Hi,

    @Wayne-Workman @ciranodd we have the same issue too on Debian 8. No Mysql (fresh install), just installed with FOG trunk. If we don’t put a MySQL password (empty password) at the install, there are no problems. If we put a password, the error “Access denied for user ‘root’ @ ’ localhost ’ (Using password : NO ) #tried YES” occurs when we want to install/upgrade database (same on the capture from ciranodd).

    Or else, if password put, we have to change manually rights for root account on mysql.

      @MagicLink A database password for the root user must be setup by you or the administrator for there to BE a password set in the first place.

      In older times, Ubuntu/Debian would ask you to supply a password, but I removed this requirement because redhat variants never gave this opportunity during the installation process. In trying to commonize the functions, I was able to get mysql to be installed in much the same methodology as Redhat based OS’s under Debian/Ubuntu variants.

      When it asks you for the password, it asks you “Did you set a password for mysql?” It is not the opportunity for you to set one.

      This is to be expected.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        @MagicLink I’ll check this out tomorrow on the RedHat side and see what happens.

          Hi Guys,

          Didn’t wanted to bother anyone again since we solved the problem. But indeed as @MagicLink said when entering a password during fog installation gave me the issue again (I had to prepared a backed server in case this one goes bad), however all i had to do was make sure MYSQL was running correctly (ran into the same problem, but i had a fixed !!!) 0_1459315888568_ERROR 2002 (HY000)-FOG SERVER MYSQL FIX.txt

          Then make sure that the both configuration files match the inf you entered during the installation
          /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php
          /opt/fog/.fogsettings
          and DONE.

          ps,

          Not sure what i did wrong but when i re-ran the install the LOCALHOST in the config file /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php was changed to the IP i gave my server instead of the “localhost”

          Just change changed it to “localhost” and DONE !!!

          Lesson !!!

          Always make sure your config file is setup correctly !!!

          Regards Gents !!!
