mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'root' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Getting
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IDENTIFIED BY 'root' WITH GRANT OPTION' at line 1.
Note: The same is working when tried in previous versions.
Also tried
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Getting
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
MySQL (8.0.11.0) username/password is root/root.
Starting with MySQL 8 you no longer can (implicitly) create a user using the GRANT command. Use CREATE USER instead, followed by the GRANT statement:
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Caution about the security risks about WITH GRANT OPTION, see:
Grant all privileges on database
I see a lot of (wrong) answers, it is just as simple as this:
USE mysql;
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P#ssW0rd';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Note: instead of a self-created user you can use root to connect to the database. However, using the default root account to let an application connect to the database is not the preferred way. Alternative privileges can be applied as follows (be careful and remember the least-privilege principle):
-- Grant user permissions to all tables in my_database from localhost --
GRANT ALL ON my_database.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
-- Grant user permissions to my_table in my_database from localhost --
GRANT ALL ON my_database.my_table TO 'user'#'localhost';
-- Grant user permissions to all tables and databases from all hosts --
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'#'*';
If you would somehow run into the following error:
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host ‘1.2.3.4’ is not allowed to connect to this
MySQL server
You need add/change the following two lines in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and restart mysql:
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
skip-networking
You could run into the following error, which is a bit confusing:
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
This means that either the user does not exist at all OR that the user#host combination does not exist. You can easily check for this with the following command:
SELECT host, user FROM user
1) This worked for me. First, create a new user. Example: User foo with password bar
> mysql> CREATE USER 'foo'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'bar';
2) Replace the below code with a username with 'foo'.
> mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO'foo'#'localhost';
Note: database_name is the database that you want to have privileges, . means all on all
3) Login as user foo
mysql> mysql -u foo -p
Password: bar
4) Make sure your initial connection from Sequelize is set to foo with pw bar.
Just my 2 cents on the subject. I was having the exact same issue with trying to connect from MySQL Workbench. I'm running a bitnami-mysql virtual machine to set up a local sandbox for development.
Bitnami's tutorial said to run the 'Grant All Privileges' command:
/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p -e "grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'#'%' identified by 'PASSWORD' with grant option";
This was clearly not working, I finally got it to work using Mike Lischke's answer.
What I think happened was that the root#% user had the wrong credentials associated to it. So if you've tried to modify the user's privileges and with no luck try:
Dropping the user.
Create the user again.
Make sure you have the correct binding on your MySQL config file.
In my case I've commented the line out since it's just for a sandbox environment.
1. Dropping the user.
From Mysql Console:
List Users (helpful to see all your users):
select user, host from mysql.user;
Drop Desired User:
drop user '{{ username }}'#'%';
2. Create the user again.
Create User and Grant Permissions:
CREATE USER '{{ username }}'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY '{{ password }}';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '{{ username }}'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Run this command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
3. Make sure you have the correct binding on your MySQL config file.
Locate your MySQL config file (additional notes at the end). If you want to have MySQL listen for connections on more than one network find the following line on the config file:
bind-address=127.0.0.1
and comment it using a '#':
#bind-address=127.0.0.1
For production environments you might want to use limit the network access (additional notes at the end).
Then restart your MySQL service.
Hope this helps someone having the same issue!
Binding: If you want to know more about this I suggest looking at the following
solution How to bind MySQL server to more than one IP address. It
basically says you can leave MySQL open and limit connections by using
a firewall, or natively if you have MySQL version 8.0.13 and above.
MySQL Config File The file could have different locations depending on your
Linux distribution and installation. On my system it was located at
'/etc/my.cnf'. Here are other suggested locations:
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
You can also search for the config locations as shown in this website:
How to find locations of MySQL config files.
For those who've been confused by CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' when you already have a root account on the server machine, keep in mind that your 'root'#'localhost' and 'root'#'your_remote_ip' are two different users (same user name, yet different scope) in mysql server. Hence, creating a new user with your_remote_ip postfix will actually create a new valid root user that you can use to access the mysql server from a remote machine.
For example, if you're using root to connect to your mysql server from a remote machine whose IP is 10.154.10.241 and you want to set a password for the remote root account which is 'Abcdef123!##', here are steps you would want to follow:
On your mysql server machine, do mysql -u root -p, then enter your password for root to login.
Once in mysql> session, do this to create root user for the remote scope:
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'#'10.154.10.241' IDENTIFIED BY 'Abcdef123!##';
After the Query OK message, do this to grant the newly created root user all privileges:
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'#'10.154.10.241';
And then:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Restart the mysqld service:
sudo service mysqld restart
Confirm that the server has successfully restarted:
sudo service mysqld status
If the steps above were executed without any error, you can now access to the mysql server from a remote machine using root.
My Specs:
mysql --version
mysql Ver 8.0.16 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
What worked for me:
mysql> CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'desired_password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db_name.* TO 'username'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Response in both queries:
Query OK, O rows affected (0.10 sec*)
N.B: I created a database (db_name) earlier and was creating a user credential with all privileges granted to all tables in the DB in place of using the default root user which I read somewhere is a best practice.
The specified user just doesn't exist on your MySQL (so, MySQL is trying to create it with GRANT as it did before version 8, but fails with the limitations, introduced in this version).
MySQL's pretty dumb at this point, so if you have 'root'#'localhost' and trying to grant privileges to 'root'#'%' it treats them as different users, rather than generalized notion for root user on any host, including localhost.
The error message is also misleading.
So, if you're getting the error message, check your existing users with something like this
SELECT CONCAT("'", user, "'#'", host, "'") FROM mysql.user;
and then create missing user (as Mike advised) or adjust your GRANT command to the actual exisiting user specificaion.
You will get this error
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
If you are trying to run a GRANT on a user that doesn't exist!
Therefore, first run this to make sure the user you use in your GRANT matches exactly to what you have:
select User, Host from user;
In particular pay attention whether the user you created is at localhost but the one you are trying to grant to is %
Copy this and use it at once:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Instead of using single lines of code such as:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Then:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost';
Then:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Many thanks #Nebulastic
If you want to only allow remote IP using following command
CREATE USER 'user_test'#'113.yy.xx.94' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PWD';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user_test'#'113.yy.xx.94';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
This worked for me:
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%'WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
Check out your username and domain is the same as created before. Mysql select account by the two colums in user table.If it is different, mysql may think you want to create a new account by grant,which is not supported after 8.0 version.
My Specs:
mysql --version
mysql Ver 8.0.19 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
What worked for me:
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE User SET Host='%' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
this commands work for me:
1-login to mysql and see all users
sudo mysql -u root
select user, host from mysql.user;
2-delete old user
drop user root#localhost;
3-create new user
CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'
4-add all privileges to it:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'#'localhost'
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password
BY 'mypassword';
5-finally flush privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
in select statement, changing 'user'#'%' to 'user'#'localhost' solved my problem
In my case I wanted to do something similar, I followed some steps from here but the best way was as #nebulasic mentioned:
USE mysql;
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P#ssW0rd';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
After this I encountered an error while trying to query the database or connect with SQLTools from VSCode.
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
Running this query will fix the problem:
ALTER USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'Your_newP#s$w0Rd';
I also want to mention that these steps are ok to work in a local environment, when doing something in production is recommended to allocate each user to each database with generated password accordingly and different other security measures if necessary.
Well, I just had the same problem. Even if route had '%' could not connect remotely. Now, having a look at my.ini file (config file in windows) the bind-address statement was missed.
So... I putted this bind-address = * after [mysqld] and restarted the service. Now it works!
1. grant privileges
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'#'%'WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
2. check user table:
mysql> use mysql
mysql> select host,user from user
3.Modify the configuration file
mysql default bind ip：127.0.0.1, if we want to remote visit services,just delete config
#Modify the configuration file
vi /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
#Comment out the ip-address option
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
4.finally restart the services
brew services restart mysql
Try this, i had the same issue and i tried few options, but the below worked.
GRANT ALL ON . TO 'root'#'%';
Reference used - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04#step-6-%E2%80%94-testing-database-connection-from-php-optional
ubuntu 22.04.1
Mysql Ver 8.0.31-0
My root had no GRANT privileges so I could not grant new users any previligies.
Solution was to Drop current root user and create new one using 'mysql_native_password'.
Commands as follows
Login to mysql with as root
mysql> DROP USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' FROM mysql.user;
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'locahost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
This may work:
grant all on dbtest.* to 'dbuser'#'%' identified by 'mysql_password';
I had this same issue, which led me here. In particular, for local development, I wanted to be able to do mysql -u root -p without sudo. I don't want to create a new user. I want to use root from a local PHP web app.
The error message is misleading, as there was nothing wrong with the default 'root'#'%' user privileges.
Instead, as several people mentioned in the other answers, the solution was simply to set bind-address=0.0.0.0 instead of bind-address=127.0.0.1 in my /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf config. No changes were otherwise required.
I had the same problem on CentOS and this worked for me (version: 8.0.11):
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%'
Stary mysql with sudo
sudo mysql
The command:
mysql -u root -p
gives the error:
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'
But running sudo privileges, works:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Is it possible to get rid of the sudo requirement because it prevents me from opening the database in intellij? I tried the following as in the answer to this question Connect to local MySQL server without sudo:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/mysql/
which did not help. The above question has a different error thrown
Only the root user needs sudo requirement to login to mysql. I resolved this by creating a new user and granting access to the required databases:
CREATE USER 'newuser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'newuser'#'localhost';
now newuser can login without sudo requirement:
mysql -u newuser -p
You need to change algorithm. Following work for me,
mysql > ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '';
mysql > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You can use the same ROOT user, or a NEW_USER and remove the SUDO privileges. Below example shows how to remove connect using ROOT, without SUDO.
Connect to MY-SQL using SUDO
sudo mysql -u root
Delete the current Root User from the User Table
DROP USER 'root'#'localhost';
Create a new ROOT user (You can create a different user if needed)
CREATE USER 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY '';
Grant permissions to new User (ROOT)
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Flush privileges, so that the Grant tables get reloaded immediately. (Why do we need to flush privileges?)
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now it's all good. Just in case, check whether a new root user is created.
SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------+
| User | Host |
+------------------+-----------+
| root | % |
| debian-sys-maint | localhost |
| mysql.session | localhost |
| mysql.sys | localhost |
+------------------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Exit mysql. (Press CTRL + Z). Connect to MySQL without SUDO
mysql -u root
Hope this will help!
first login to your mysql with sudo.
then use this code to change "plugin" coloumn value from "unix_socket" or "auth_socket" to "mysql_native_password" for root user.
UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = 'mysql_native_password' WHERE user = 'root' AND plugin IN ('unix_socket', 'auth_socket');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
finally restart mysql service. that's it.
if you want more info, check this link
UPDATE:
In new versions of mysql or mariadb you can use :
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD('your-password');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I have solved this problem using following commands.
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'username'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Here,
username = any user name you like.
and password = any password you like.
You can use the below query:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
This query is enough.
This answer needs to be slightly adapted for mariaDB instead of mysql.
First login as root using sudo:
$ sudo mysql -uroot
Then alter the mariadb root user:
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD('mypassword');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
From now on sudo is not longer needed:
$ mysql -uroot -p
Version used:
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.4.13-MariaDB, for osx10.15 (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Login to mysql with sudo:
sudo mysql -u root -p
After that Delete current root#localhost account:
~ MariaDB [(none)]> DROP USER 'root'#'localhost';
~ MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
~ MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
~ MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
In the comment of the question you answer you referenced, it reads
Ok, just try to analyze all of the directories down in the path of the
socket file, they need to have o+rx and the sock file too (it's not a
good idea to make it modifiable by others).
You can also try to remove mysql.sock and then restart mysqld, the
file should be created by the daemon with proper privileges.
This seemed to work for this question(the one you said you looked at) so it may work for you as well
The error Message:
"ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'"
means that the Server not allow the connect for this user and not that mysql cant access the socket.
try this to solve the problem:
Login in your DB
sudo mysql -u root -p
then make these modifications:
MariaDB []>use mysql;
MariaDB [mysql]>update user set plugin=' ' where User='root';
MariaDB [mysql]>flush privileges;
MariaDB [mysql]>exit
try login again without sudo
Today I did a login as root into Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS ll
and then apt-get install mariadb-server (without sudo but as root).
With mySQL -h localhost -u root --password=<PW> I got
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
With mySQL -u root -p I logged into the DB and did
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<PW>';
FLUSH ALL PRIVILEGES;
But this did not help. Have you got any idea?
I did not find the answer for the similar questions.
TL;DR: To access newer versions of mysql/mariadb as the root user, after a new install, you need to be in a root shell (ie sudo mysql -u root, or mysql -u root inside a shell started by su - or sudo -i first)
Having just done the same upgrade, on Ubuntu, I had the same issue.
What was odd was that
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Would accept my password, and allow me to set it, but I couldn't log in as root via the mysql client
I had to start mariadb with
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
to get access as root, whilst all the other users could still access fine.
Looking at the mysql.user table I noticed for root the plugin column is set to unix_socket whereas all other users it is set to 'mysql_native_password'. A quick look at this page: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/unix_socket-authentication-plugin/ explains that the Unix Socket enables logging in by matching uid of the process running the client with that of the user in the mysql.user table. In other words to access mariadb as root you have to be logged in as root.
Sure enough restarting my mariadb daemon with authentication required I can login as root with
sudo mysql -u root -p
or
sudo su -
mysql -u root -p
Having done this I thought about how to access without having to do the sudo, which is just a matter of running these mysql queries
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* to 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
(replacing <password> with your desired mysql root password). This enabled password logins for the root user.
Alternatively running the mysql query:
UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = 'mysql_native_password' WHERE user = 'root' AND plugin = 'unix_socket';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Will change the root account to use password login without changing the password, but this may leave you with a mysql/mariadb install with no root password on it.
After either of these you need to restarting mysql/mariadb:
sudo service mysql restart
And voila I had access from my personal account via mysql -u root -p
PLEASE NOTE THAT DOING THIS IS REDUCING SECURITY Presumably the MariaDB developers have opted to have root access work like this for a good reason.
Thinking about it I'm quite happy to have to sudo mysql -u root -p so I'm switching back to that, but I thought I'd post my solution as I couldn't find one elsewhere.
In clean Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, MariaDB root login for localhost changed from password style to sudo login style...
so, just do
sudo mysql -u root
since we want to login with password, create another user 'user'
in MariaDB console... (you get in MariaDB console with 'sudo mysql -u root')
use mysql
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
\q
then in bash shell prompt,
mysql-workbench
and you can login with 'user' with 'yourpassword' on localhost
from superuser accepted answer:
sudo mysql -u root
use mysql;
update user set plugin='' where User='root';
flush privileges;
exit;
Try the command
sudo mysql_secure_installation
press enter and assign a new password for root in mysql/mariadb.
If you get an error like
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
enable the service with
service mysql start
now if you re-enter with
mysql -u root -p
if you follow the problem enter with sudo su and mysql -u root -p now apply permissions to root
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
this fixed my problem in MariaDB.
Good luck
I had to be logged into Ubuntu as root in order to access Mariadb as root. It may have something to do with that "Harden ..." that it prompts you to do when you first install. So:
$ sudo su
[sudo] password for user: yourubunturootpassword
# mysql -r root -p
Enter password: yourmariadbrootpassword
and you're in.
The new command to flush the privileges is:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES
The old command FLUSH ALL PRIVILEGES does not work any more.
You will get an error that looks like that:
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH ALL PRIVILEGES;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALL PRIVILEGES' at line 1
Hope this helps :)
Run mysql_upgrade.
Check that
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'#'localhost';
says
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ... WITH GRANT OPTION
Check that the table exists _mysql.proxies_priv_.
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' while attempting to grant privileges. How do I grant privileges?
System like Ubuntu prefers to use auth_socket plugin. It will try to authenticate by comparing your username in DB and process which makes mysql request; it is described in here
The socket plugin checks whether the socket user name (the operating
system user name) matches the MySQL user name specified by the client
program to the server, and permits the connection only if the names
match.
Instead you may want to back with the mysql_native_password, which will require user/password to authenticate.
About the method to achieve that, I recommend this instead.
First of all close terminal to exit this cmd;
Then run: sudo mysql (Do not forgot sudo otherwise MySQL requires password which you don't know - use sudo to skip mysql password authentication)
Select mysql database by following cmd
mysql> use mysql
then set new password for your root user
mysql> alter user root#localhost identified with mysql_native_password by 'MyNewPassword#123';
then
mysql> flush privileges;
and quit to close mysql connection
mysql> quit
Now you can run sudo mysql_secure_installation without any error
Here you have to enter your new set password (MyNewPassword#123)
I am facing problem with mysql non root/admin user, I am following the below steps for creating user and its privileges, correct me if i am doing wrong,
i am installing mysql on RHEL 5.7 64bit, packages are mentioned below, once i done the rpm install we are
creating mysql db using mysql_install_db, then
starting the mysql service then
using mysql_upgrade also we are doing to the server.
After this process i can login as root but with a non-root user I am not able to log into the server:

This is the problem I am facing, is there any solution to this?
Do not grant all privileges over all databases to a non-root user, it is not safe (and you already have "root" with that role)
GRANT <privileges> ON database.* TO 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
This statement creates a new user and grants selected privileges to it.
I.E.:
GRANT INSERT, SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE ON database.* TO 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Take a look at the docs to see all privileges detailed
EDIT: you can look for more info with this query (log in as "root"):
select Host, User from mysql.user;
To see what happened
If you are connecting to the MySQL using remote machine(Example workbench) etc., use following steps to eliminate this error on OS where MySQL is installed
mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER '<<username>>'#'%%' IDENTIFIED BY '<<password>>';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO '<<username>>'#'%%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Try logging into the MYSQL instance.
This worked for me to eliminate this error.
Try:
CREATE USER 'golden'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'golden'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Or even better use: mysql_setpermission to create the user
It looks like you're trying to make a user 'golden'#'%' but a different user by the name of 'golden'#'localhost' is getting in the way/has precedence.
Do this command to see the users:
SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user;
You should see two entries:
1) user= golden, host=%
2) user= golden, host=localhost
Do these Command:
DROP User 'golden'#'localhost';
DROP User 'golden'#'%';
Restart MySQL Workbench.
Then do your original commands again:
CREATE USER 'golden'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'golden'#'%';
Then when you go to try to sign in to MySQL, type it in like this:
Hit 'Test Connection' and enter your password 'password'.
First I created the user using :
CREATE user user#localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password_txt';
After Googling and seeing this, I updated user's password using :
SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'#'localhost' = PASSWORD('password_txt');
and I could connect afterward.
For anyone else who did all the advice but the problem still persists.
Check for stored procedure and view DEFINERS. Those definers may no longer exists.
My problem showed up when we changed the wildcard host (%) to IP specific, making the database more secure. Unfortunately there are some views that are still using 'user'#'%' even though 'user'#'172....' is technically correct.
I also have the similar problem, and later on I found it is because I changed my hostname (not localhost).
Therefore I get it resolved by specifying the --host=127.0.0.1
mysql -p mydatabase --host=127.0.0.1
According way you create your user, MySQL interprets a different manner. For instance, if you create a user like this:
create user user01 identified by 'test01';
MySQL expects you give some privilege using grant all on <your_db>.* to user01;
Don't forget to flush privileges;
But, if you create user like that (by passing an IP address), you have to change it to:
create user 'user02'#'localhost' identified by 'teste02';
so, to give some privileges you have to do that:
grant all on <your_db>.* to user02#localhost;
flush privileges;
Make sure the user has a localhost entry in the users table. That was the problem I was having. EX:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
For annoying searching getting here after searching for this error message:
Access denied for user 'someuser#somewhere' (using password: YES)
The issue for me was not enclosing the password in quotes. eg. I needed to use -p'password' instead of -ppassword
Try this:
If you have already created your user, you might have created your user with the wrong password.
So drop that user and create another user by doing this.
To see your current users.
SELECT Host,User FROM mysql.user;
To drop the user
DROP User '<your-username>'#'localhost';
After this you can create the user again with the correct password
CREATE USER '<your-username>'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '<correct password>';
then
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You might still run into some more errors with getting access to the database, if you have that error run this.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to '<your-username>'#'localhost';
In my case the same error happen because I was trying to use mysql by just typing "mysql" instead of "mysql -u root -p"
connect your server from mysqlworkbench and run this command->
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
The error of ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user might not be always related to privilages problems but to the fact that there is a missing -p at the end of the command:
# Will prompt us a mysql terminal in case there are no privilages issues
mysql -u root -p
# Will fail with the mentioned ERROR 1045
mysql -u root
sometimes,it can just be a wrong password.Kindly remember your passwords including their sensitivity.
I had this issue and something dummy ended up solving.
For some reason "locahost" was not resolving for anything, so using its local IP made it work.
So you would change
mysql -h localhost -P 33061
to:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 33061
Had a similar issue when trying to grant privileges to an already existing user using the command:
use my-db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my-database.* TO 'my-user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password';
Here's how I solved it:
It had to do with 2 issues:
The password of the already exiting user was different from the password that provided in the GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES command. I had to rerun the GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES with the correct password for the already existing user.
The host name of the database server that I provided when connecting to the database was incorrect. I had created the database and the user on a particular database server and I was trying to connect to another database server different from the database server where the database and the user were created. I had to get the correct database server hostname, and I used it for the connection.
After all this were sorted, I was able to connect to the database using the credentials.
The issue was that my-user already had the privileges I wanted to grant it.
You can check to see the privileges that you've granted your user using:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'your-user'#'%';
OR
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'your-user'#'localhost';
That's all.
Just add computer name instead of 'localhost' in hostname or MySQL Host address.
I just installed mysql on a mac and I can't seem to access any accounts from there.
I used the commands :
shell> mysql -u root -p
password:
and since I have not given one I let it go blank and I get an error saying incorrect password.
I can login using just
shell> mysql
buy I can't seem to be able to change passwords or even look at all the accounts in mysql.users.
I get the following error:
ERROR 1142 (42000): SELECT command denied to user ''#'localhost' for table 'users'
What do I do to resolve this issue and how do I use a software like sequel pro with the database?
Your problem seems, you dont have all the privileges for localhost#root, to get all the privileges run the below command.
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to root#localhost identified by 'password' with grant option
in MySQL command prompt and you will have all the previleges to access the localhost as root.
use this command to set the password for MySQL
mysqladmin -u root password “newpassword”;
Example mysqladmin -u root password adhfhuef34;
You will also want to restart the database server after running this command
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
If this Dint work, Try
$ mysql -u root
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWORD") where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit
