If you get the following error, it means that when
mysqld was started or when it reloaded the
grant tables, it found an account in the
user
table that had an invalid password.
Found wrong password for user
'
some_user
'@'some_host
';
ignoring user
As a result, the account is simply ignored by the permission system.
The following list indicates possible causes of and fixes for this problem:
You may be running a new version of
mysqld with an old
user
table. You can check this by
executing mysqlshow mysql user to see
whether the Password
column is shorter
than 16 characters. If so, you can correct this condition
by running the
scripts/add_long_password
script.
The account has an old password (eight characters long).
Update the account in the user
table to
have a new password.
You have specified a password in the
user
table without using the
PASSWORD()
function. Use
mysql to update the account in the
user
table with a new password, making
sure to use the PASSWORD()
function:
mysql>UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('
->newpwd
')WHERE User='
some_user
' AND Host='some_host
';
