[Xerte] Re: MYSQL access denied error

[James Burns]

Hi, thanks for your help on this...

I have just tried the following to re-specify the password :-

--------------------------snip----------------------------------------------
root at lamp ~# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 76
Server version: 5.1.61-0ubuntu0.10.04.1-log (Ubuntu)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> use mysql;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('########') WHERE user='root';   (password blanked out for this...)
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 2  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
--------------------------------snip--------------------------------------------------------

I still get same error (even if I also restart mysql).

I was wondering if the password itself could be the issue, but changing this to a basic test password has made no apparent difference.

Just to clarify - the installation itself of Xerte was seemingly successful. It is only the subsequent access for testing of xerte which is giving the error.

LDAP PHP option is installed, configured for xerte and pointing to LDAP source of other server - that is why I am trying to test with demo.php to take this out of the equation as the cause of the issue..I can't access "management.php" either with same error.
