Access denied for root@localhost

I think ubuntu renamed php packages for this release. I purged php and apache and now the foginstaller is unable to find packages with php5 in its name. Looks like it only supports php 7!

Looks like this is turning into the great Ubuntu 16.04 bug thread heh.

edit: following Tom’s instructions from the php 7 thread https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6285/php-7-0-0-finally-released/16

Results in the installer being unable to add the repositories (probably because it still refers to the old repositories rather than the new ones)

Ubuntu now refers to php7 packages as simply php it seems! Which brings it in line with Redhat systems.

Also, Apache2 evasive mod has blacklisted my IP lol.

Installer now gets stuck on stopping the web service.

php-msqli was missing so had to manually install it. Installer still stuck though.

Found this in the installer error log:

Failed to stop php5-fpm.service: Unit php5-fpm.service not loaded.

Tries to stop a service that’s of course not installed causing it to fail.

Fixed it using Tom’s instructions of the php 7.0 thread but changing it slightly:

php_ver="7.0"
php_verAdds="-7.0"
repo="php"

The repo is simply php, but the packages can still be referred to as 7.0, however apt will generally pick the correct php package by simply referring to them as php.

The installer now makes it to Backing up database where it fails!

[Tom Elliott]

@Quazz Sounds, to me, that you may need to install php7.0-mbstring?

[Quazz]

@Tom-Elliott It was indeed not installed! Installation now completes!

Still getting the same issues as before on the webui however, which I’m guessing has a lot to do with php7 and less with anything else?

[Quazz]

@Tom-Elliott Tried to update to 7334.

Installer fails to update the database. No errors to be found in the installer error logs.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Quazz said:

Still getting the same issues

Which issues/errors exactly? The mysql 5.7 stuff or what?

[Hanz]

@Sebastian-Roth

 * Backing up database.........................................OK
 * Updating Database...........................................Failed!
[bcs@fog-server bin]$ 

Updating consistently fails
and web ui is not working.

The 10.72.3.50 page isn’t working

10.72.3.50 is currently unable to handle this request.

bcs@fog-server ~]$ sudo mysqlcheck -r fog

max_connections set to 2500 in /etc/my.cnf
Possibly connections not closing correctly ?
Updates on nodes worked flawlessly BTW

Processor usage is pegged at 100 for all four cores as well as many many httpd processes

[Sebastian Roth]

@Hanz I cannot see how this is related to the topic of Ubuntu 16.04 mysql issues!?! Please help me.

[Quazz]

@Sebastian-Roth Unable to create tasks, no fog settings being displayed, the php error spam.

Mysql seems to work fine now (assuming it’s not causing the other issues that is)

[Quazz]

Images are unable to deploy (input/output error).

The other php errors have no longer showed up since Tom’s tomfoolery

[ITCC]

you should dump Ubuntu for this:
https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack

install is SO easy and the features of the stack are good too.

[Quazz]

Added subnet to evasive mod whitelist to get rid off a bunch of stupid errors (it kept on blocking getfiles.php)

Perhaps worth noting that both php7.0-mbstring and php-mbstring exist and are in fact different packages. (why…)

[Sebastian Roth]

I think we need to face 16.04 at some point to I am trying to get a wiki article together: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu_16.04

[NSmith]

I found the solution for me in this article: https://www.percona.com/blog/2016/03/16/change-user-password-in-mysql-5-7-with-plugin-auth_socket/

basically comes down to the following as the fix :

sudo mysql -u root
ALTER USER ‘root’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘password’;
exit

[Wayne Workman]

@NSmith that’s in our wiki. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#MySQL_credentials_for_FOG_Main_and_Storage_Nodes

[Sebastian Roth]

@Wayne-Workman Sorry, but that’s a bit of a different story as Ubuntu 16.04 comes with MySQL 5.7 which defaults to something called auth_socket in contrast to normal tcp localhost socket connection.

Issue and solution are known and documented here and here.

[Wayne Workman]

@Sebastian-Roth Is there any way to address this in the installer so that it works out of the box for Ubuntu 16?

[Sebastian Roth]

@Wayne-Workman Yes, force people to set a MySQL root password when installing. But it would still fail if people have MySQL server pre-installed (with empty password)… Other than that I don’t think we have any chance to hook into the auth_socket thing. See if you can find anything related to php and auth_socket
