I just upgraded my developement box's PHP to the latest version, 5.4.5. This developement machine connects to a remote MySQL server, residing on a shared server that I lease from a hosting company.
Trying to connect to my remote MySQL server using simple mysql_connect('myserver.com', 'user', 'password') results in the following error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file in file.php on line 2
Simply, as advised, just executing:
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('my-password');
wouldn't change anything.
The same applies when executing
SET SESSION old_passwords=FALSE;
After a bit of searching, I realized that I needed quite deep access to the MySQL server to be able to fix this problem, which I do not have. Trying to execute this query:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('my-password')
WHERE User='my_user' AND Host='my-server';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Simply gives me the following error:
1142 - UPDATE command denied to user 'u0112918'#'www10.aname.net' for table 'user'
Requests to have the company execute the query for me has, so far, been unsuccessfull. So my question is if there's any way to fix this on the client side, without involving the MySQL server?
Hm, try executing the following query through a tool other then PhpMyAdmin, such as Mysql Workbench or through a shell:
SET SESSION old_passwords=0;
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('passwordString');
You should be allowed to change your own password without DML Rights on user-table.
Edit: since it did not resolve the issue - when "read_only" is enabled for the database then you need super rights to change (even your own) password ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/set-password.html )

I'm currently making a simple app using Laravel and Xampp. While trying to connect the database and make migrations I got this error message from php artisan:
PHP error
So I decided to configure the database manually from the MySQL MariaDB shell (having started the session as the root user), but regardless of what user I try to gran privileges to on any database I get the following error:
MariaDB error
The only possible reason I can come up with is the fact that there seems to be two different root user listed, but I don't thisnk this is the root of the problem, since I'm starting the shell as root, and not choosing one of these after starting.
User List
I've already triple-checked my root user password (I've been starting the shell with this command mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1). Trying to do this through the PHP MyAdmin interface yields the same error.
I'd appreciate any insights, thank you!
The multiple entries for 'root' are specifying which host addresses are allowed connections from (127.0.0.1 and % respectively)
Your error appears to be because your configured database connection (in Laravel) is using the user 'usario'. Search your files for where usario is defined and input the proper credentials to connect to your database in its place.
This is a common error when credentias supplied to MySQL/MariaDB are simply invalid. Bad username, bad password, or both. In this instance it looks as though you're trying to run a migration with a user that doesn't exist.
I am getting crazy. I want to send data to my database on my db-webserver (php 7.2, phpMyAdmin):
$inputdata = mysqli_query($db, "INSERT INTO notice (text, priority, option1) VALUES ('$htext', '$hpriority', '$hoptions1')");
But data do not reach the database on my db-webserver , but everything is fine on my local MAMP - it works, on my localhost i can fill in data.
And I can get the data FROM my db-webserver (older data or manually put in data). So the connection works, too. But my error log on the webserver says:
PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'user'#'localhost' (using password: YES) in /xx/xxx/public_html/notice/conn_web_notiz.php on line 3
which is on line 3:
$db = mysqli_connect("localhost", "user", "password", "name-of-database");
On StackOverflow I found some inputs like: cPanel (on my webserver) has problems with special characters for password. So I set a simple one. But: Why can I READ the table's content but not fill in??
And I must say: It worked fine, but all of a sudden it made troubles, which I could solve, but not the data input.
It looks like you are using the same authentication procedure on your webserver that you used in MAMP. This is presenting a conflict.
By nature the
'user'#'localhost'
is used on MAMP because you are running the database locally. When you migrate to the webserver, you'll need to access the webserver not localhost. This prevents cross-site security breaches.
Although it is written kinda weird, you might try something like this blog post to better understand the difference. You should look in the PHPmyAdmin for your webserver to figure out how to handle your credentials.
I installed the php script and all wen well but the problem is at the final step, when I need to fill the database information, when I field the database information I find that i am getting an error that says "Error connecting to SQL host", so I try and try in different ways but there is no solution, nevertheless, I installed the same script on my localhost and all went well without problems, my Hosting Provider is: Siteground
Filling Database Information Image
Showing the Error Image
You must grant write permissions to the connect.php file for the user who is running the web service for example apache.
Have you ssh access to the server?
If your application cannot connect to the database you should make sure that:
Your application is using the correct MySQL hostname: localhost
Your application is using the correct MySQL database / username /
password.
Don't forget to specify your MySQL username and database with the
prefix yourusername_ in front of its given name. For example, your
cPanel username is siteground and you have named your database
joomla. In this case you have to refer to your database as
siteground_joomla;
Source: https://www.siteground.com/kb/my_script_cannot_connect_to_my_database_/
Another good idea would be to try to use your cPanel username and password for the Database User and Database Password. This will rule out whether you have granted all privileges to your database user.
Also you should change the permissions of your connect.php file to 755, as if you set them to 777, this will cause an internal server error.
I'm trying to simply run php artisan migrate --seed on a new Laravel project but everytime I try, I get the error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'appuser'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I check my database config file and the correct username and password for the database are there.
I check MySQL Workbench, and the correct user is there with all the schema privileges for the same password.
I tried adding the user with privileges under %, localhost and 127.0.0.1 but same access denied error.
I ran a quick check to make sure Laravel was selecting the right environment for the database connection details and it is.
I've created users hundreds of times and never had this problem. This all started after I updated to the latest MySQL Workbench 6.1.7 after the older version stopped working correctly on Windows 8. Sadly, I don't have the option to even go back and test if the old version fixes the problem since it won't work at all.
At this point I can't get any new database users to connect.
The database server is up and running, and every other previously existing user still connects just fine.
Here is the my.ini file.
Any ideas? I'm hoping I'm just tired and missing something obvious here.
by reading the config file.
[client]
password = mysql
port = 3306
socket = "{$path}/mysql/mysql.sock"
i think you need to comment the string with default password. Probaby it affects something.
I have recent MariaDB, and the password string is commented out in every config file example
When i try to connect a remote mysql server from my localhost i get this error:
Could not connect: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure
authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with
the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password').
This will store a new, and more
secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed
by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from
your my.cnf file
Any idea why it gives this error?
It gives this error because your MySQL server uses the old way of storing password -- and not the new way, which is more secure.
The mysqlnd driver, which has been introduced with PHP 5.3, doesn't support the old authentication way.
So, you have to modify your MySQL configuration, to use the new, more secure way.
The error message you get is indicating you how to do that.

quick fix
as db user
SET SESSION old_passwords=0;
SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('my_password');
as admin
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
real fix
open up your my.conf file and comment out the following line
old_passwords=1
Restart MySQL. this will ensure MySQL never uses the old passwords again.
as db user
SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('my_password');
as admin
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
It seems to be an issue when running PHP <=5.2 code in PHP 5.3+: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?52,403493,411125#msg-411125
