cannot connect to database from zapier #1044 - Access denied for user - mysql

I am trying to connect Zapier to my Database. Zapier has very limited support for this and seem to be going round in circles.
I need to GRANT SELECT to a user on my database with this code;
GRANT SELECT ON my-database-here.my-table-here TO 'user-here'#'ip-address-here' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password-here';
The error i receive is;
#1044 - Access denied for user 'xxx'#'localhost' to database 'xxxx'
The user has ALL PRIVILEGES but can't seem to get it to work. Any help here could be greatly received.
Thanks

You may need to set up a root account for your MySQL database:
In the terminal type:mysqladmin -u root password 'root password goes here'
And then to invoke the MySQL client:mysql -h localhost -u root -p
you have 2 issues:
1 => mysql -uroot -p should be typed in bash (also known as your terminal) not in MySQL
command-line. You fix this error by typing.
exit
in your MySQL command-line. Now you are back in your bash/terminal command-line.
You have a syntax error:
mysql -uroot -p;
the semicolon in front of -p needs to go. The correct syntax is:
mysql -uroot -p
type the correct syntax in your bash commandline. Enter a password if you have one set up; else just hit the enter button. You should get a response that is similar to this:

MYSQL : error 1045 (28000).

This is my first time dealing with MySQL tables. I am taking a Linux system admin class in my college and I encountered a problem while following the lab.
When I do this command:
GRANT ALL ON alpha.* TO dbuser#10.10.0.6 IDENTIFIED BY 'CSCI480';
and later do:
mysql -udbuser -p -h 10.10.0.6
I get access denied message.
I would like to know what exactly is going on, why do I get those message. By the way, I am just following my Professor's Lab guide.
Followed lab
If it's on the localhost, just use:
GRANT ALL ON alpha.* TO dbuser#localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'CSCI480';
and
mysql -u dbuser -p
Edit:
I noticed you stated the error says "using password: NO". After the above command press Enter and it will ask you for a password, type: CSCI480. Is it prompting you for a password? What if you try:
mysql -u dbuser -pCSCI480

Installing snort, having trouble with SQL root password

So I am installing snort currently on my ubuntu linux server. I am following this guide here.
At this point, I am at the part in the guide where I am installing Barnyard2 and i need to access my SQL database to save information. linux server is near fresh install with little else on it. When I try to do this part of the guide:
echo "create database snort;" | mysql -u root -p
mysql -u root -p -D snort < ~/snort_src/barnyard2-master/schemas/create_mysql
echo "grant create, insert, select, delete, update on snort.* to \
snort#localhost identified by 'MYSQLSNORTPASSWORD'" | mysql -u root -p
When I run the first line - if I don't enter anything, I get the error message that says:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
If I do enter something, I get a different error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have tried using this in order to reset my password but the command mysql -u root or any form of command similiar results back in the same error, even when it says the password is probably not required for this command. Does anyone know a way in which I can get this to work?
Why don't you break that down into chunks?
First make the database:
$ mysql -u root -p -e 'CREATE DATABASE `snort`'
Import the barnyard schema
$ mysql -u root -p < ~/snort_src/barnyard2-master/schemas/create_mysql
Now create the user & assign permissions for the snort db to the barnyard user
$ mysql -u root -p -e 'GRANT CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE ON `snort`.* TO snort#localhost IDENTIFIED BY '[SNORT PASSSWORD]'
The commands in your question are running a local mysql client which assumes to connect to a local database by default. If your database is running on a neighbouring Windows box you will need to rethink your parameters.
mysql -u root -p -h 192.168.0.99

mysql cli; password works when prompted, but not when passes as command argument

Can’t figure this out, and all of my searching hasn’t helped.
When I login to mysql and I enter
$ mysql -u database_user -p
Enter password: ******* #here I enter my_password
this works. the next thing I see is the mysql> command prompt. However, if I enter
$ mysql -u database_user -pmy_password
or
$ mysql -u database_user --password=my_password
Both of which, according to the documentation, should be allow me access. I get the access denied response.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'database_user'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I've tried a lot of variations specifying database or host:
$ mysql -u database_user -pmy_password -d database_xxx -h localhost
But I keep getting the Access Denied error.
I want to pass my password as a command line argument so I can write some scripts to automate some tasks.
Has anyone else run into this issue or know why if I'm prompted for a password, I'm good, but if I pass it in as an argument, I cannot login.
Your password doesn't happen to have a '$' in it, like pa$$word? Or another character that might mean something to the shell?
In that case you will need to enclose your password with single quotes '
$ mysql -u database_user -p'my_password'
While I'm not sure exactly why you are having that problem, I strongly recommend against passing the password on the command line. The best practice is put the password in a secure file and use the --defaults-extra-file option. That way the password is not displayed in plaintext in the process table.
For your example, you could create a /etc/mysql_login.cnf file and permission it such that only you can read it, then put this in the file:
[client]
user=database_user
password=my_password
Then call the mysql cli like this:
mysql --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql_login.cnf

Updating a database in a server using command-line

I have been searching for a while to find a good answer to my problem.
I have a new server where I would like to run a script in .php which uses a database to store some data. What I have done so far is:
Place the .php file in the server with the help of Putty.
Create a database in phpmyadmin, export it and place it in the same folder of my project in putty.
Run php5 crawl.php > logfile.log 2&>1&
but it doesn't update the database.
I am little bit confused with the steps I have to make in order to make it work. I have been reading also this article http://www.aspkin.com/using-putty-to-import-a-database/ but when I run the
mysql -u dbusername -p databasename < backupname.sql
I get this error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
if it's a local machine you may not have a password on it for root - so remove the -p tag.
Otherwise you want to specify the password in there with it, without a space, like so:
mysql -u dbusername -pYourPassword databasename < backupname.sql
zcat /path/to/file.sql.gz | mysql -uroot -p your_database

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'db'

I want to begin writing queries in MySQL.

I do not have any user-id but when I want to make a user I don't have privilleges, also I don't know how to make privileges when even I don't have one user!
mysql> CREATE USER 'parsa'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'parsa';
ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied; you need (at least one of) the CREATE USER pr
ivilege(s) for this operation
I tried to sign in as root:
mysql> mysql -u root -p;
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 'mysql

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that

-u root -p root' at line 1
No, you should run mysql -u root -p in bash, not at the MySQL command-line.
If you are in mysql, you can exit by typing exit.
You may need to set up a root account for your MySQL database:
In the terminal type:
mysqladmin -u root password 'root password goes here'
And then to invoke the MySQL client:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
I was brought here by a different problem.
Whenever I tried to login, i got that message because instead of authenticating correctly I logged in as anonymous user. The solution to my problem was:
To see which user you are, and whose permissions you have:
select user(), current_user();
To delete the pesky anonymous user:
drop user ''#'localhost';
This is something to do with user permissions. Giving proper grants will solve this issue.
Step [1]: Open terminal and run this command
$ mysql -uroot -p
Output [1]:
This should give you mysql prompt shown below
Step [2]:
mysql> CREATE USER 'parsa'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'parsa'#'localhost';
Syntax:
mysql> grant all privileges on `database_name`.`table_name` to 'user_name'#'hostname';
Note:
hostname can be IP address, localhost, 127.0.0.1
In database_name/table_name, * means all databases
In hostname, to specify all hosts use '%'
Step [3]: Get out of current mysql prompt by either entering quit / exit command or press Ctrl+D.
Step [4]: Login to your new user
$ mysql -uparsa -pyour_password
Step [5]: Create the database
mysql> create database `database_name`;
You might want to try the full login command:
mysql -h host -u root -p
where host would be 127.0.0.1.
Do this just to make sure cooperation exists.
Using mysql -u root -p allows me to do a a lot of database searching, but refuses any database creation due to a path setting.
If you are in a MySQL shell, exit it by typing exit, which will return you to the command prompt.
Now start MySQL by using exactly the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
If your username is something other than root, replace 'root' in the above command with your username:
sudo mysql -u <your-user-name> -p
It will then ask you the MySQL account/password, and your MySQL won't show any access privilege issue then on.
First, if you are unfamiliar with the command line, try using phpmyadmin from your webbrowser. This will make sure you actually have a mysql database created and a username.
This is how you connect from the command line (bash):
mysql -h hostname -u username -p database_name
For example:
fabio#crunchbang ~ $ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u fabio -p fabiodb
connect mysql with sudo & gives permission for the necessary user using,
sudo mysql -u user;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'user'#'localhost';

Hope this helps!
Most Developers log-in to server(I assume you r having user-name and password for mysql database) then from Bash they switch to mysql> prompt then use the command below(which doesn’t work
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
What needs to be done is use the above command in the bash prompt--> on doing so it will ask for password if given it will take directly to mysql prompt and
then database, table can be created one by one
I faced similar deadlock so sharing the experience
I had the command correct per above answers, what I missed on was on the Workbench, where we mention 'Limit Connectivity from Host' for the user, it defaults to "%" - change this to "localhost" and it connects fine thereafter!
I'm using roles to confer least privilege on my database application users. I kept getting 'ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user...' until I RTFM and discovered I had to give each user a default role(s) in order their account could be authenticated when they logged in.
#create a role
CREATE ROLE 'rolename';
#give necessary privileges to role
GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT ON database.table TO 'rolename';
#create user
CREATE USER 'username'#'host' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
#give the user a role(s)
GRANT 'rolename' TO 'username'#'host';
#set the user's default otherwise it's ERROR 1044
SET DEFAULT ROLE 'rolename' FOR 'username'#'host';
