The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

server do not permit root to log in

Hi

I am trying to start the db with mysqld command the server is getting ready for connections but i cant log in with root because access is denied. I tried to start the server with the skip-grant-access options, and i saw that root does not exist in mysql.USER table.

I have many error message when the server starts :

Does anybody no what to do with this informations? Regards Xavier

Answer

If there is no root user in the mysql.user table, you can create it yourself.

These errors in the log are about missing or corrupted system tables in the mysql database. Did you run mysql_install_db script at all? If you did, perhaps your mysql database is incomplete or corrupted. Try to rename it and run mysql_install_db script again.
