Whats wrong with my saltstack mysql installation? - mysql

Question

I am a saltstack newbie and mysql newbie too... :-/ was trying to install my-sql on Ubuntu 14. I am getting following error
I use the following sls file
mysql_package:
pkg.installed:
- name: mysql-server
mysql_conf:
file.managed:
- name: /etc/my.cnf
- source: salt://mysql/files/my.cnf
- user: root
- group: root
- mode: 0644
- require:
- pkg: mysql_package
mysql_service:
service:
- name: mysqld
- running
- enable: True
- require:
- pkg: mysql_conf
- watch:
- pkg: mysql_conf
# required packages start
server_pkgs:
pkg:
- installed
- pkgs:
- python-dev
- refresh: True
mysql_python_pkgs:
pkg.installed:
- pkgs:
- libmysqlclient-dev
- mysql-client
- python-mysqldb
- require:
- pkg: server_pkgs
python-pip:
pkg:
- installed
- refresh: False
mysql:
pip.installed:
- require:
- pkg: python-pip
- pkg: mysql_python_pkg
# required package end
stg_databases:
mysql_database.present:
- name: stagingdb
- require:
- pkg: mysql
- service: mysql_service
first_db_user:
mysql_user.present:
- name: stg-admin
- password: "pass4admin"
- host: '%'
- connection_charset: utf8
- saltenv:
- LC_ALL: "en_US.utf8"
- require:
- mysql_database: stg_databases
create_first_table:
mysql_query.run:
- database: stagingdb
- query: "create table first_table(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY ( id ));"
- output: "/tmp/create_first_table.txt"
- require:
- mysql_database: stg_databases
first_table_grants:
mysql_grants.present:
- grant: all privileges
- database: stagingdb.*
- user: stg-admin
- host: '%'
- require:
- mysql_user: first_db_user
And using following conf file
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
symbolic-links=0
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
Came across following link MySQL - ERROR 1045 - Access denied , thats not what i want to do...
Guessing there is a relation between user defined in my.cnf and in sls file, which i am not getting correct ?

Answer 1

Where there any errors when you ran this state?
Also if you run:
salt-call -ldebug state.sls <state file>
That will give you a lot of useful information as to what salt is exactly running. Is the root user still available? Can you login and see if that user was actually created?

Answer 2

This is obvious Mysql GRANT issues that you don't need to debug. It means you make some mistake of GRANTING the user. Just check the doc : https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.mysql_user.html
mysql_user.present DOES NOT grant a user. you need mysql_grants.present together with mysql_user.present. The confusing part : mysql_grants.present doesn't set password; mysql_user.present set password but doesn't grant DB rights.
first_db_user:
mysql_user.present:
- name: stg-admin
- password: "pass4admin"
- host: '%'
- connection_charset: utf8
- saltenv:
- LC_ALL: "en_US.utf8"
- require:
- mysql_database: stg_databases
grant_my_first_db_user:
mysql_grants.present:
- grant: select,insert,update
- database: stagingdb
- user: stg-admin
- host: localhost
And saltstack mysql formula confirm this.
