apache2 - Access denied when trying to re-install lamp - Ask Ubuntu
i'm trying install lamp on ubuntu 16.04. had installed, accidentally locked myself out of lamp trying phpmyadmin working, access denied user 'root'@'localhost'
whatever try.
i thought easiest solution uninstall packages installed lamp working. used sudo apt-get purge
uninstall packages installed. i'm installing packages again same error when trying install mysql. try: sudo mysql_secure_installation
, asks me password root. tried leaving empty, giving passwords think set root, returns access denied message.
trying mysql mysql -u root -p
returns access denied message, tried solution creating file create user 'root'@'localhost' identified '<password>';
, running sudo mysqld_safe --init-file=<path_to_file>
still receive access denied messages.
i'm thinking there file somewhere information, maybe password, needs. tried lot of other solutions nothing seems work.
edit: investigated further, , tried starting mysql service --skip-grant-tables
flag stop checking user privs. when run mysql -u root
still tells me error 1045 (28000): access denied user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: no)
. think problem hasn't password, else.
i managed fix killing mysql processes running: ps aux | grep mysql
lists processes , killing them sudo kill -9 [pid]
. allowed me start mysqld_safe process --skip-grant-tables
flag , allowed me mysql mysql -u root
. following further reset password root: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mysqlpasswordreset
also password column has been changed authentication_string in user table in mysql_server 5.7 (latest version of now).
after doing got installed , can access phpmyadmin now!
