I have a new installation of MySQL 5.0 (I did not port an old ver). I am
running a Ruby on Rails application that uses this db. I have grants for
[EMAIL PROTECTED], root@"localhost" and root@'192.168.0.63'. The passwords for these 3
grants are old style 16 byte hashes. There was one single grant for root
that had a 41 byte new style hash. I thought it was redundant and deleted
it.
I can log in using the mysql client but my rails application can no longer
log in. I'm not 100% sure that the problem is because I removed that grant
but I'm fairly sure (no other configuration info has changed)
My question is, why when I "GRANT all on *.* to root@'localhost' identified
by 'xxxxxxx'" do I get a 16 byte hash and not a 41 byte hash? Since my
theory is the lack of a grant with a 41 byte hash I'd like to test that.
How do I create 41 byte password hashes ?
Thanks,
Gary
