Upgrade from Trunk to 1.4.2 Failed

@Avaryan Do you have a root password defined for Mysql access?

[Avaryan]

@Tom-Elliott Good question. No clue! I didn’t set the server up.

How would I go about checking? And how would I go about changing it and/or removing if that’s what I need to do.

[Tom Elliott]

@Avaryan this is where things get tricky I suppose as I have no idea of knowing.

Can you check in /opt/fog/.fogsettings and look for snmysqlpass?

The password should be there, though I suspect that’s where things might be also breaking.

@Tom-Elliott I don’t see a .fogettings in /opt/fog

Only thing in there is log, service, snapins, utils directories.

Edit: Nevermind. It showed up when I manually typed it in.

@Avaryan ls -la /opt/fog please try

snmysqlpass='XXXXXXXX'

Moderator note: I removed the password to your mysql database. The important part is that YOU know what it is

@Avaryan Now that you know your password attempt to log into your database from the linux command line mysql -u root -p fog then provide your database password.

This was the output when I tried the password listed in .fogsettings

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

However, I tried another password and got this:

Assuming that is what I should see on a correct login, I at least know what the password is.

That /opt/fog/.fogsettings file, pelase edit the snmysqlpass line to make it match what you “know” what it is. THen rerun the installer. Apparently it got changed at some point in time.

Our live FOG server is now on 1.4.2, revision 6072. Thanks! Now to figure out how that password got changed…

edit: You can mark this as solved.
