Title: [Oscar-users] How to recover from a lost DB ?

Hi Bruce!

 

As the "root" user, you should be able to access the MySQL database without any password.  Once you're in you should be able to reset the password for the "oscar" user in the mysql.user table.

 

Once you've re-setted the password, put it into /etc/odapw and everything *should* be back to normal.

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

Subject: [Oscar-users] How to recover from a lost DB ?

Hello OSCAR users...

I have a question regarding damage control. While performing some
"security maintenance", *somebody* lost the mysql password on our head
node (don't laugh, and no, it wasn't me !). My question is, what is
the best way to rebuild the OSCAR database ? Should we drop it from
the db and run 'install_cluster' or is there something less drastic we
can do ?

Thanks for any advice...
Bruce
