Mariaex mysql 8+

Could you check what’s the authentication plugin for the user you’re trying to log in as?

E.g.:

mysql> select user,plugin from mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------------------+
| user             | plugin                |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| mariaex_user     | mysql_native_password |
...

The default auth plugin for mysql 8.0 is caching_sha2_password and so if the user was created before you changed the default auth plugin that’s probably the issue.

Oh, thanks… I got caching_sha2_password for my user…

mysql> select user,plugin from mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------------------+
| user             | plugin                |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| elixir           | caching_sha2_password |
| mysql.infoschema | caching_sha2_password |
| mysql.session    | caching_sha2_password |
| mysql.sys        | caching_sha2_password |
| root             | caching_sha2_password |
+------------------+-----------------------+

I will recreate a new user

That was it…

droping the user, and recreate allows me to create the Repo

Thank You @wojtekmach

Hi, I’ve read the issue on GitHub and the previous comments of this thread, but this is still not working for me.

Also I can’t really understand what the solution suggested in the comments above was. Should the plugin be changed to caching_sha2_password? Or to mysql_native_password? What worked?

At the moment, I’m trying to connect as root locally, and these are my users:

mysql> select host,user,plugin from mysql.user;
+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+
| host             | user             | plugin                |
+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+
| 127.0.0.1        | root             | caching_sha2_password |
| ::1              | root             | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost        |                  | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost        | mysql.infoschema | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost        | mysql.session    | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost        | mysql.sys        | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost        | root             | mysql_native_password |
| mylaptop.local   |                  | caching_sha2_password |
| mylaptop.local   | root             | caching_sha2_password |
+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+

So far I’ve altered, dropped and recreated root@localhost so that it had mysql_native_password or caching_sha2_password. Nothing worked.

You should use mysql_native_password, if You did wrong, as I did, just drop the user and recreate.

BTW I did not use root, but elixir… and configured config files with this user. How do You create your user?

Hi, thanks for getting back to this.

The user was created ages ago when MySQL was first installed on this dev machine. Yesterday I upgraded MySQL to 8.0 and I ran the mysql upgrade command. Mariaex t was connecting fine before that.

I have already dropped and recreated 'root'@'localhost', but it didn’t work . Yes, I have invoked FLUSH PRIVILEGES;.

Can you please share the commands that you used to drop and recreate the user? I’m more a Postgres person myself, and I might have done this the wrong way.

Is the host you connect from recognized as localhost? Maybe its bare IP or mylaptop.local. I have no clue how MySQL does this host thing.

If I were you, I’d alter all users.

Or explicitely create a non root user for the application, that has known to work settings.

As mentionned in the OP, the issue is related to MySQL 8.x

If You have recently upgraded, then You need to change the auth settings, and recreate users.

I think the syntax is

mysql> CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'newuser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

The second command gives rights… You might change

• newuser
• password
• ALL
• *.*

Thanks @kokolegorille.

I’ve now tried again and I’ve run exactly those commands, creating a new user. I’ve then configured Ecto with the new username, deleted the compiled beam artifacts from _build, and then tried again.

I am still getting the same error:
