    @ciranodd At this point, you haven’t done, gained, or lost anythign.

    Why not completely remove mysql/mariad and reinstall??

    sudo apt-get --purge mysql*
    rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
    sudo apt-get install mysql mysql-server
    

    Of course if you have data to backup, backup first?

      @ciranodd You might be running into this old and know ubuntu mysql issue: https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject/issues/1

      I wonder why root@localhost only has “select table data” permission according to what we see in webmin… I am sure someone modified the DB. Probably Tom’s suggestion on removing the DB and starting from scratch is not bad I suppose.

          !!! SUCCESS !!!

          Hi Tom,

          this is a fresh install, i have another Fog server fully functional. I am just trying to do another one from zero. NO need to backup anything.!!!

          i had a an error running sudo apt-get --purge mysql* so i tried

          apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5

          rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql

          apt-get autoremove

          apt-get autoclean

          then i ran

          #apt-get install mysql-server

          then check the Privileges and still root@localhost still has “select table data” only !!!

          i tried resetting MYSQL - Got an error…
          Well a good completed restart of my Ubuntu box will not hurt.

          I tried checking the privileges but i couldn’t log in to MYSQL !!!

          ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)

          Thankfully i had that problem before and from my notes i fixed it (the file i sent you guys before ERROR 2002)

          reset MYSQL

          /etc/init.d/mysql restart

          AND NOW I DO HAVE ----- GRANT_PRIVI ---- for root@localhost

          Oh man !!!

          Not sure what happened, but i had to remove the mysql which i thoght i had done a couple of times but i wasn’t doing it right than do a manual install mysql server

          It was never fog it was MYSQL0_1458772189713_rootMysqlPriviledgesYES.JPG

          Thanks a lot guys !!! Hope this helps someone in the future !!!

            @ciranodd I don’t understand why you are having so many problems. With Ubuntu, After Ubuntu is installed, you just checkout a copy of fog trunk and then run the installer. that’s it.

                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.

                    @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 !!!
