Debian 9 installed mariadb-server , the phpmyadmin can't login and terminal too,for prove this problem ;
$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------------------+
| User | plugin |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| root | auth_socket |
| mysql.sys | mysql_native_password |
| debian-sys-maint | mysql_native_password |
+------------------+-----------------------+
The reason is that recent Ubuntu installation (maybe others also), mysql is using by default the UNIX auth_socket plugin.
Basically means that: db_users using it, will be "auth" by the system user credentias. You can see if your root
user is set up like this by doing the following:
$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------------------+
| User | plugin |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| root | auth_socket |
| mysql.sys | mysql_native_password |
| debian-sys-maint | mysql_native_password |
+------------------+-----------------------+
As you can see in the query, the root
user is using the auth_socket
plugin
There are 2 ways to solve this:
mysql_native_password
plugindb_user
with you system_user
(recommended)Option 1:
$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
$ service mysql restart
Option 2: (replace YOUR_SYSTEM_USER with the username you have)
$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> CREATE USER 'YOUR_SYSTEM_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'YOUR_SYSTEM_USER'@'localhost';
mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='auth_socket' WHERE User='YOUR_SYSTEM_USER';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
$ service mysql restart
Remember that if you use option #2 you'll have to connect to mysql as your system username (mysql -u YOUR_SYSTEM_USER
)
If you could login with sudo
but not without sudo
then do:
$ sudo mysql -u root
[mysql] use mysql;
[mysql] update user set plugin='' where User='root';
[mysql] flush privileges;
[mysql] \q
Once done $ mysql -u root
without sudo
will work just fine.
