Re: password problem
Data directory path mention in cnf is of old mysql. Make a fresh data directory, configure it in configuration file and execute mysqlinstall_db, I don't understand the sentence about the data directory path mention. The my.cnf file is at /etc/my.cnf . It doesn't have any data directory path mention, but neither does the my.cnf file on a laptop, which works. So there seems to be nothing wrong with the location or content of the my.cnf file.

4.1 password problem
I have a PHP application that stores member-access passwords in a char column. When the passwords were stored, they were written to the database using the PASSWORD() function. Each hashed password is 16 characters long. When a member logs in, the plain text password submitted is run through the PASSWORD() function and compared to the stored hash. After MySQL was upgraded to 4.1.11, the PASSWORD() function now creates a 41 character hash, which of course doesn't match the 16 character hash. I understand it's possible to restart the MySQL server with the --old-passwords option so that PASSWORD() will create the old style short hash, but I'm looking for a way to convert the short hash values into comparable long hash values. (I don't want to ask 1200+ registered users to reset their passwords.) Apparently the upgrade procedure can successfully convert short-to-long hash values for MySQL user passwords (user in the sense of a MySQL user accessing the database itself), so surely there's a way to convert short hashed values to long hashed values for use within a PHP application. Any practical advice greatly appreciated. -- Lowell Allen -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Better yet, just use `mysql -u root -p`. MySQL will prompt you for the
password, so you won't have to escape special chars, and someone running ps
won't see your password.

RE: Password problem
When connecting from a command line, mysql uses 3 of the columns in the user table to decide whether or not to grant access. These are host, user, and password. Note that in your results below, there is no localhost-newsletter-testPass combination. What the table shows is that clients from any host other than localhost can log in to a mysql client using the newsletter and testPass combination. If you want to login using a client on the same machine that you're running mysql, you need to add another entry to the user table, i.e., GRANT ALL PRIVILIGES ON newsletter.* TO newsletter@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'testPass' It took me a while to figure that one out, but it's saved me a lot of frustration knowing it now. I guess I don't understand why localhost isn't included in the % wildcard for the host column in this table. Anybody?

Re: serious password problem
I don't know if this is it, but
--
6.11 When Privilege Changes Take Effect
When mysqld starts, all grant table contents are read into memory and become
effective at that point.
Modifications to the grant tables that you perform using GRANT, REVOKE, or SET
PASSWORD are noticed by the server immediately.
If you modify the grant tables manually (using INSERT, UPDATE, etc.), you should
execute a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or run mysqladmin flush-privileges or
mysqladmin reload to tell the server to reload the grant tables. Otherwise your
changes will have no effect until you restart the server. If you change the grant
tables manually but forget to reload the privileges, you will be wondering why
your changes don't seem to make any difference!
When the server notices that the grant tables have been changed, existing client
connections are affected as follows:
Table and column privilege changes take effect with the client's next request.
Database privilege changes take effect at the next USE db_name command.
Global privilege changes and password changes take effect the next time the client
connects.

Re: serious password problem
I see 2 possible problems:
1) syntax: I had to experiment with the mysql line a bit before
it worked. Try:
mysql -urknop -p
password
(Note no space before username, password last)
2) Your user has no permissions at all: I've never tried that, but
I wouldn't be surprised if it made login impossible. Try setting a
few first.
Good luck!

mysql set password for rknop=password('testpw');
To no avail. For reference, the user table has:
mysql select * from user where user='rknop'\G
*** 1. row ***
Host: %
User: rknop
Password: 12ab181d57a7f4be
Select_priv: N
Insert_priv: N
Update_priv: N
Delete_priv: N
Create_priv: N
Drop_priv: N
Reload_priv: N
Shutdown_priv: N
Process_priv: N
File_priv: N
Grant_priv: N
References_priv: N
Index_priv: N
Alter_priv: N
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The /var/log/mysqld.log file says nothing after the startup ready for
connections message, and as such can shed no light on the situation.
Can anybody offer me any suggestions as to how to get around this
predicament?
Thanks,
-Rob

Fixed MYSQL password problem!
I fixed the problem I just posted with MySql new installs not seeing my passwords. I had simply forgotten to flush the permissions after I set the password. mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges Cheers, -Richard - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Password problem
Hi, I am trying to set up a passsword a system root for the root MySQL server for the 1st time (rpm download) I get the following error message: [root@localhost MySQL]# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u mysql -p password 'x1234!' Enter password: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES)' if I run the same command as MySQL root (ie: user mysql): bash$ /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u mysql -p password 'x1234!' Enter password: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! The socket is on /tmp but not on /var/lib/mysql/ Also, should the user specified with -u be 'mysql' (a valid id on my system) or should the argument remain 'root' ? Thanks for your input, Charles - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
