Topic: Sme8Admin mysql authentication issue

[dehacked]

I have the following issue with getting SME8Admin running. I recall I had a similar issue with Sme7Admin on my old server but unfortunately my linux skills is fairly non existent. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I just need to get proper SQL credentials in. Below is the error. Any help will be appreciated.

DBI connect('sme8admin','sme8admin',...) failed: Access denied for user 'sme8admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/bin/sme8admind line 287
MYSQL error Access denied for user 'sme8admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/sme8admind line 782, <$fh> line 4.

dehacked,

I do not have a direct answer for you, but here are some pointers that may be helpful:

1. The SME Server implementation of MySQL will never ask for the root password (see wiki, MySQL, reset)
2. The sme8admin contrib (and previous versions) are know to adhere to the "SME Server" way, and thus should not give any troubles on root level.

Is there more you can share? What did you do to install it, what did you change pls?
