Git commit fcf4695 Setting up MySQL user and database..........................Failed

[Sebastian Roth]

@sgennadi @Quazz Do you guys run the installer as ./installfog.sh -Y (or -y or --auto-accept)??

There is an issue in FOG 1.5.8 setting a random root password if it was empty before (my fault!). Though I have only see this causing an issue on newer versions of MariaDB (10.3 on Ubuntu 19.04 or later and Debian 10). I am not aware of this happening on CentOS yet.

I think https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/fcf4695bfb69aeeb2b83d40bdea7e31a580cd000/lib/common/functions.sh#L1075
that line (and 1077) will cause issues, since it can’t connect using root after a password is set. So any future runs will fail.

There are a few things you need to know:

• Line 1077 checks if it can connect without password. This can mean two things, either empty DB root password or plugin set to unix_socket for login from command line without password.
• When adding the DB security stuff I did not expect many people to blindly run the installer with auto accept on update. Personally I would never do this but I know it’s been proposed in the forums at times and I forgot about it. I would have made this even more conservative if I had known.

Can you please try logging into the DB without password from the shell right now: mysql -u root

Doesn’t work, right? Please post the MariaDB version you have installed: rpm -qa | grep -i -e mariadb -e mysql

[Quazz]

@Sebastian-Roth Yeah, I always run auto accept, generally.

localhost fogproject # rpm -qa | grep -i -e mariadb -e mysql
php-williamdes-mariadb-mysql-kbs-1.2.10-1.el7.remi.noarch
mariadb-libs-5.5.64-1.el7.x86_64
perl-DBD-MySQL-4.023-6.el7.x86_64
mariadb-5.5.64-1.el7.x86_64
mariadb-server-5.5.64-1.el7.x86_64
php-mysqlnd-7.3.15-1.el7.remi.x86_64

As mentioned in my edit, I reckon the real point where it fails is further down at line 1201. Try running the installer twice in a row without having snmysqlrootpass in .fogsettings and it will fail. (regardless of autoaccept or not)

That said, line 1075 also seems like it would fail and throw an error on consecutive runs. (can be easily altered to use snmysqluser)

1077 seems fine after some testing.

It’s important to note that the root password is not saved anywhere as far as I am aware and can thus not be retrieved by the installer. So anything that needs root access needs to check if the password is set or not before running.

[JJ Fullmer]

I had a similar problem with 1.5.8 and centos 7 and also mariadb 5.x

In my case it turned out that I was running mysql with an empty root password. Which I don’t recall doing but may have occurred via the auto-accept/-y install when I initiatilly installed fog on this server. Should really not use -y the first time you run the installer, which is probably what I did many moons ago from habit in auto-updating to stay on the latest dev version. For updates once all is configured, -y should be fine.

So can you login to mysql as root either with mysql -u root or does that fail and you can instead login with a password mysql -u root -p

Or do neither of those options work and maybe you’re locked out of mysql? I got locked out. If you are, don’t worry, we got you. Here’s how @Sebastian-Roth helped me reset the root password and afterwords everything worked again

#stop the mysql service
systemctl stop mariadb
# open mysql in safemode in a foreground task and use & to get back to your shell
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
# you may need to hit enter twice
#login to mysql in safemode as root
mysql -u root

#look at what your usertable says for funsies
select user,password,host,plugin from mysql.user;
# You should see your root user(s) if it exists and the fogstorage and fogmaster users
# Now update the password in the table to something else, note that for me this didn't actually 
# set a password but made it blank
update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD("newpassword") where User='root';
update mysql.user set plugin='mysql_native_password' where User='root';
# flush the privileges to save the changes
flush privileges;
# exit the mysqld_safe command line
\q;

#shutdown the safemode mysql
mysqladmin -u root shutdown

# start the native mysql service up again
systemctl start mariadb

#try to login normally again, add -p and use what you think your password was or what you might have changed it to just now if it doesn't work
mysql -u root

#update the root user password with the proper command
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourPassword');
# flush the privileges to save the changes
flush privileges;
#exit the mysql shell
\q;

#restart mysql one more time to be safe
service mariadb restart

#attempt to login with the now set root password
mysql -u root -p

If the last login works as expected, give the installer another try and see if it works now. Once I had that password reset and working I was able to run the latest dev-branch installer without issue.

[Quazz]

@JJ-Fullmer Thanks for the instructions; that worked!

Also, it will tell you that your password is blank when you do these steps, because when you set both a password and authentication plugin, the password gets ignored by mysql.

I skipped the step to set password in mysql console itself to test the installer handling itself.

Some notes on the situation for me:

Root password was set BUT only for ‘localhost’, but the host localhost did not have any type set (whereas the others had mysql_native_password)

Running the installer a second time, after successfully setting root password in previous installer run, ends in the same error. (due to line 1201 expecting a root password it no longer has access to)

[Sebastian Roth]

@Quazz said in Git commit fcf4695 Setting up MySQL user and database..........................Failed:

Running the installer a second time, after successfully setting root password in previous installer run, ends in the same error. (due to line 1201 expecting a root password it no longer has access to)

Once again the question: Do you run the installer with -Y (aka auto accept)?

[Quazz]

@Sebastian-Roth Not this time, no. The installer on first try after resetting root password, asked for a password, so I entered it. It accepted it, carried on sucessfully.

Then I ran the installer again (still no autoaccept) and it fails.

Observe:

   The installer detected a blank database *root* password. This
   is very common on a new install or if you upgrade from any
   version of FOG before 1.5.8. To improve overall security we ask
   you to supply an appropriate database *root* password now.

   NOTICE: Make sure you choose a good password but also one
   you can remember or use a password manager to store it.
   The installer won't store the given password in any place
   and it will be lost right after the installer finishes!

@Quazz Thanks for clarifying. I will have a bit more time tomorrow and gonna work on this. Seems like I have messed up big times with this DB security stuff. It’s strange because I have done a lot of testing on this, as well on CentOS. Not sure what I have missed but I am sure I will figure it out soon.

[Quazz]

@Sebastian-Roth Setting snmysqlrootpass in .fogsettings allows it to function normally again, but that’s of course not very secure.

Line 1201 is where it trips up, if not set.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Quazz Nice workaround. I am working on this right now. Hopefully I can get it right this time. It’s quite complex to think about all the different situations people come from. Fresh install, update, auto-accept, empty root DB pass, unix_socket and so on.

Will let you know when I pushed the fix.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Quazz Ok, here we go. Mind giving the latest dev-branch (1.5.8.14 as of now) a try?

[Quazz]

@Sebastian-Roth Went through it successfully. Of course this is only the scenario where root password is already set, not sure what an initial environment would do if that makes sense.

Absolutely! I will do further testing and we have Wayne’s automated install tests running as well. Will see if they all still work fine.

Thanks for quickly testing!

[Sebastian Roth]

@sgennadi Please try the latest in dev-branch after manually setting DB root password. Sorry for the issue.

@JJ-Fullmer Thanks for the instructions; that worked!
Some notes on the situation for me:

Woo Hoo!

Root password was set BUT only for ‘localhost’, but the host localhost did not have any type set (whereas the others had mysql_native_password)

I think that this may have also been the case for me. I certainly remember having set a root password but after fixing everything my only conclusion was that I must have not. But I did also notice that my mysql.user table had 3 different root users for localhost, 127.0.0.1, and 1 other I can’t remember right now. Mine were all set to the mysql_native_password plugin as well. It looks like a solution is in the works here already, but just wanted to add that note that the root problem might be the authentication problem.
