Issue:
Due to wrong passwords in the database mysql/logmysql is not able to connect to the database with the existing password.
We need to change the passwords manually.
Error:
#logmysql ERROR 1044: Access denied for user 'zimbra'@'localhost' to database 'zimbra_logger'
#mysql ERROR 1044: Access denied for user 'zimbra'@'localhost' to database 'zimbra'
Steps:
1) For Mysql: a) Stop the mysql service. [Run as Zimbra: mysql.server stop] b) Run as ROOT vi /opt/zimbra/bin/mysql.server c) Modify the following: --defaults-file=${mysql_mycnf} \ --external-locking \ --ledir=${mysql_directory}/libexec < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 & TO --defaults-file=${mysql_mycnf} \ --external-locking \ --ledir=${mysql_directory}/libexec < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 --skip-grant-tables & Save and Exit the file. d) Start the mysql service. [Run as Zimbra: mysql.server start] e) Connect to the database. # mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 6883 Server version: 5.0.45-log Source distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root'; ----> Root user. mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='zimbra'; ----> Zimbra user. Make sure the password you specify is should be same as zmlocalconfig -s | grep mysql_root_password and zmlocalconfig -s | grep zimbra_mysql_password. mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> exit f) Go back to the file remove the --skip-grant-tables and save and exit the file. g) Stop and start the mysql service. [mysql.server stop and start] h) Now try to connect without the --skip-grant-tables option and check.
2) For Logmysql:
a) Stop the logmysql service. [Run as Zimbra: logmysql.server stop] b) Run as ROOT vi /opt/zimbra/bin/logmysql.server c) Modify the following: --defaults-file=${logger_mysql_mycnf} \ --external-locking \ --ledir=${logger_mysql_directory}/libexec & TO --defaults-file=${logger_mysql_mycnf} \ --external-locking \ --ledir=${logger_mysql_directory}/libexec --skip-grant-tables & Save and Exit the file. d) Start the logmysql service. [Run as Zimbra: logmysql.server start] e) Connect to the database. # logmysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 6883 Server version: 5.0.45-log Source distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root'; ----> Root user. mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='zimbra'; ----> Zimbra user. Make sure the password you specify is should be same as zmlocalconfig -s | grep mysql_logger_root_password and zmlocalconfig -s | grep zimbra_logger_mysql_password mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> exit f) Go back to the file remove the --skip-grant-tables and save and exit the file. g) Stop and start the logmysql service.
