After I uninstalled 4.1 I removed the /var/db/mysql/ directory so that the install of 4.0.6 would start fresh and create its defualt users and databases with no trace of the previous user entries. Schrodinger wrote: I have removed all localhost user entries and all users should now be able to connect from any host. But when a user attempts to connect with a password they get the usual ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) In an earlier message, you said you downgraded from mysql 4.1.? to 4.0.6 (Why not 4.0.16?). mysql 4.1 has a different password format in the user table than previous versions. Pre 4.1.x mysql uses 16 byte hashes to store passwords, 4.1.0 uses 45 byte hashes, and 4.1.1 (and up) uses 41 byte hashes. If you kept (or restored) the mysql user table you created in 4.1, you may now be comparing a 16 byte password hash to a 41 or 45 byte hash. As I understand it, the only way that could match is if both are blank. If this is the case for you, use GRANT to reset the passwords to new 16 byte hashes.

Issue has been resolved. Thank you all. I dont know what went wrong but I think it was becuase when I was connecting as root I ran : mysql --user=root and not mysql --user=root mysql after I did this I created a user and now that user can connect with a password.

MySQL Login Problems on 4.1
Hi guys! I am facing some problems trying to login user to the data base server using --any-- client(except the mysql cli) to the server. Users using no password does not seems to have any problems. It happens that when a client tries to log into the db server using passwords the server doesn't seems to authorize. Even the most recent MyCC client fails to autorize users using passwords. Do I need to compile the clients against the new server's library? The MyCC client was linked againts the 4.0.16 server. was there any change in the auth-protocol?

Does anyone know why MySQL would only be allowing users with null passwords to connect? It's a fresh install of the server after deinstalling 4.1-ALPHA and installing the production release of 4.0.6.

By default mySQL comes with a set of users that are allowed to login locally without password.

Hello, I am experiencing a strange problem with a MySQL server on a FreeBSD machine here in college. The problem began after I de-installed the 4.1 ALPHA versions of both the client and the server, removed the /var/db/mysql/ directory so the install would start afresh and installed the 4.0.6 Production release, again of both the client and the server. But after I did that users can now only connect if their passwords are null. As soon as a user sets a password they receive he following message: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) I have tried reinstalling only to find the same problem.

Re: [newbie] localhost login problems from MSW2k command line (solved)
Okay, I just found out what I was doing wrong. Having looked in the docs, but I'm sure this is documented behavior. MySQL 4.0.12, MSW2k. Here's what's puzzling me -- I set up a new user yesterday. I'm pretty sure I was able to connect as the user from the command line yesterday, before I shut my machine down and went home. I can't today. I have this user entry in my mysql.user table: | localhost | fromWeb | scrambled-password | N | ... ^^^ This was the evil beast. Apparently, user names can't have capitals in them and be accessed from the command line, even though they can be accessed that way from php's library. I'm assuming there's something in the command line interface which forces the user name to lower case. So I changed the user name to 'fromweb' in mysql.user and mysql.db, and now I have no problems. But I still wonder about this: It complains ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES). ... Second, why does it complain about the loopback when I said localhost on the command line? Could this have something to do with named pipes? Is localhost folded to the loopback? That seems it might be a little awkward. -- Joel Rees [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie] localhost login problems from MSW2k command line
MySQL 4.0.12, MSW2k. Here's what's puzzling me -- I set up a new user yesterday. I'm pretty sure I was able to connect as the user from the command line yesterday, before I shut my machine down and went home. I can't today. I have this user entry in my mysql.user table: | localhost | fromWeb | scrambled-password | N | ... and this in mysql.db: | localhost | webtable | fromWeb | Y | Y | N | N | ... with all columns not listed set to 'N'. I can connect as fromWeb using the php MySQL functions and read the database without problems. (I can also connect as root from the MSW2k command line. Root has an entry for localhost and another for my TCP-IP numeric address, but I've disabled the password in the TCP-IP entry.) When I give mysql -h localhost -u fromWeb -p It complains ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES). I've tried copy/pasting the password from the php source, too, just to be sure. So I'm wondering a couple of things -- First, what should I be looking for as a cause of this behavior? Is it likely something I did while setting the user up, that I've forgotten about and just can't find in the manual today? Second, why does it complain about the loopback when I said localhost on the command line? Could this have something to do with named pipes? -- Joel Rees [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
