strange authentication issue
Hello - I'm only moderately familiar with mysql; the following issue has me stumped. I just noticed that some scripts on one of my client's servers suddenly started failing due to being no longer able to log into the mysql db. I have not touched the mysql config on that machine in months. The problem is as follows: The scripts need to login to mysql as user 'scripts'. Suddenly, user 'scripts' can only log into the mysql console _without_ a password (or using an empty/null password): /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -h localhost -u scripts -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'scripts'@'localhost' (using password: YES) However, the following works just fine (without the '-p' option): /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u scripts Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 22 to server version: 4.1.14-standard Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql I've checked the mysql.user table, and ensured that user 'scripts' indeed still has a password. I also went ahead and reset it: mysql update user set password=PASSWORD(mypwd) where User='scripts'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec) Then I flushed the privileges, restarted mysql and tried again - same issue: I can _only_ log into mysql with user 'scripts' _without_ a password. I have no clue what might be causing this behavior (or why in the world this suddenly started occurring, in the first place). I could really use some advice and help - because I've tried everything I can think of, and the problem seems unshakable.

Thanks a ton for the quick response - I'm at wits end, been working on this for hours! max_connections is set to 0. (but it is also set to 0 on another server, which largely follows the same setup/config as on the server I'm currently having problems with) Oh , yeah - this is mysql 4.1.14. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
Re: strange authentication issue
Another thing I just noticed In your first example you are using localhost, which probably means you are connecting via network The second option you don't define a host, which means you're prolly using socket connection -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

Authentication issue
Hi list, I'm migrating a Java application from it's local MySQL server (5.0) to a remote 5.1 server. I've transferred the data and slaved the new server to keep it in sync, but when I try to switch out the datasource (that is, just change from localhost to the remote server), the application refuses to connect, claiming that an invalid user or password. Whenever I try to connect from the commandline, there's not a problem to be seen - connection is quick and good. I already tried with connecting to the IP, adding the IP to the server's access tables (should be an issue, it's in the hosts file anyway), flush hosts/privileges and whatnot. Also upgraded the java connector to the latest version on mysql.com. All to no avail - it keeps saying the user or password is invalid, regardless of how many succesful connects I do on the commandline. Has anyone ever seen similar behaviour, and managed to fix it ? /johan -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
