Access denied for user 'root' @ ' localhost ' (Using password : NO ) #tried YES

[MagicLink]

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 !!!
