Password In .my.cnf-file
Is it possible to use password in .my.cnf file automatically with
function mysql_real_connection()?
I mean so that it uses password mentioned in ini-file, so not to hard
code it into program code, as mysql-client does.
I am using version 4.1.9 for pc-linux-gnu (commercial version)

Password File For Mysqlhotcopy
I'm trying to script a backup program using mysqlhotcopy. I've got the script in /root/ and i'm calling mysqlhotcopy from there. I can get the script to work if i pass the password on the command line, but i'd rather store it in a seperate file that I can controll access to. I've tried creating a .my.conf file and including it in the same directory as the script (/root), but it fails to find the password. the .my.cnf file just had the following: [client] account = root password = mypassword What am i doing wrong?

Mysqldump :: Read Password -p From .cnf File?
I want to do a simple mysqldump of a database. I know I can set up a cronjob to point to a script that runs mysqldump -u username -pXXXXXXX db_name >mysql.backup however I'm not happy with putting the password in the script. I've seen some suggestions on the web that you can use '-p hidden' and that this somehow reads from a .cnf file? Am I worrying unecessarily here? I've looked through a number of books, but can't find a simple answer/ procedure to this.

Can A Mysql Error Corrupt A Password File?
This may not be the appropriate place to ask this, but I'm not sure where else to go. I created a mailing app for a customer to send out bulk emails -in batches- using phpmailer. Yesterday an email address was encountered that had an apostrophe in it, and mysql stopped the mailing and spit out an error. I received an email from the person sending the mailing to inform me of this. I went into phpmyadmin and fixed the address. Well, a couple hours later I got a phone call from the client saying that nobody could access their website. They were receiving 'password denied' connection errors from mysql. The solution was to go into the server's control panel and reset the master password for the site. Has anybody heard of this before? Could an apostrophe in mysql actually corrupt the password file on a cpanel server? More importantly, the client is blaming me for this problem. I think it was just a coincidence. But, of course, I'm not sure.

Random Password Vs. User Created Password For Site Login
Are there any security issues or other concerns that make one preferable? The client is pushing for user created passwords. I'm mapping out the basic functionality and front-end for a MySQL/PHP back-end that will be completed by a third party. I'm a novice to MySQL but familiar with PHP and their interaction. Mainly looking for anything to support one method over the other.

Mysql Password() & Unix Crypt Password...
I am creating a user administration system where system administrator can activate services for a user, like webspace, a mail account or a subdomain. I now want to create a function that creates mysql databases and grant the right privileges to a user. But the problem is that mysql wants to have the plaintext password for the user in the "grant ... identified by 'pwd'" field, or in a manual query to update the password in the mysql.user table with PASSWORD('pwd'). I have another database which holds the passwords for the users, these password are stored the moment a user signs up and are used to activate services, for example ssh access to the machine. The stored passwords are encrypted using crypt(). So for adding a ssh service to a user, I simply do echo "$user:$pwdhash" | chpasswd -e. I have chosen crypt because some programs (like proftpd) don't take md5 sums. The problems is that I don't have the plaintext password. So I cannot add a mysql db. So I need to create a user in mysql with a crypt password. I tried to just "grant all privileges ... identified by 'nothing'" and then afterwards update the mysql.user table and putt the crypt password in there but it doesn't work like that. Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this, how can I create a user in mysql without having his plaintext password and only having a crypt hash of it. I thought about not only storing a crypt hash, but also an md5 hash and a mysql PASSWORD() hash.. but I think that's an ugly solution.

Password()
we just moved our websites over to another datacenter and in the process noticing that we are having troubles logging into some of our sites. Just as a quick test I manually updated a test user's password to password=password('hello') but the funny thing is when I try to login with hello, no record found. I echo the query and paste it into mysql and it shows empty results. SO I then queried for it to show me the record for this user and it shows the encrypted password to start with an * and then all characters are CAPS. No matter what I update the password to, this is the case. All alpha chars are caps and the pass starts off with an *. Has anyone run into this before? All of this worked before and our data looks ok in our tables but if you update the pass, it screws it up bad.

Recover A Password
Is there a way to recover a lost password in Mysql 4.1. I have seen many articles and howto's on how to kill the Mysql process and then restart using skip grant tables option. I am not trying to reset the password but rather recover it. Resetting the password to something else would cause a problem some of the underlying programs that rely on MySQL. I don't feel like changing code for every application that is using MySQL in my site. Also along similar lines. What if I were to kill the MySQL process and then reload with the skip grant tables option and login to the MySQL server. Could I create another account with root priviledges, such as admin, while not messing with the original root account or it's password. Lastly is there a way to copy just the grant tables information to another copy of MySQL so that I can experiment with this process on a non production box?

Mysqldump W/o Password
I have to run this to dump the database mysqldump -u root -pPASS --opt database > database.tmp Is there anyway I can hide the PASS is a file ? I was trying to put it in /root/.my.cnf as this [client] password = PASS That seems to be not working. I am not sure if mysqldump even reads that file. The only option worked for me is putting the password in a file /root/.pass and chmod it to 000 and then run this mysqldump -u root -p`cat /root/.pass` --opt database > database.tmp However I don't like this option because it tells you where the password is residing. I need to put this in cron so I don't like the option of showing the filename.

Setup Password
I have been trying to set up mysql on os x 10.4 tiger. Everything went well. I had a test php page. When I completed the setup of mysql I ran the test page and everything worked a treat . I had been following a tutorial, a wee bit out of date, but all good. It recommended that I give mysql a password like the root on the apple. So, I did: mysqladmin -u root password new_password_here It seemed to take it ok, i.e. didn't print an error message or anything. So, I thought all was well , but when I went back to the test page (after editing it and providing the new password details), I got an error : Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 5 Warning: mysql_select_db(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 9 Warning mysql_select_db(): A link to the server could not be established in /Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 9 Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Password Cannot Login
I had problems in one of my user's account, I used phpMyAdmin to edit this user and changed his password. Whatever I change his password, he just cannot login, even very simple password such as "1" can't do the work... When I remove the password, he can login normally. I have checked the password field on the mysql table which is long enough to hold the full encrypted password, although I noticed an asterisk * was put at the beginning of the encrypted password, which was not found on other accounts I had a similar problem before and then I noticed my "username" and "password" field is too short to hold the whole username information, I fixed it by increasing the field length. I don't know why that happens... Migration from non-unicode to unicode database perhaps? Or being hacked in?
