I tried logging in using cloud user too and it was working from mysql prompt but not from cloudstack. But I figured it out. I changed db.properties and changed all "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" with actual management server IP. Management server and DB are on same node but seems somehow mysql was blocking connections accessed with above two and was allowing by actual IP. It is working fine now and I launched my first instance too! Looks cool so far.
Thanks for pointers anyways. Problem was in exactly the same area. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ilya Musayev" <imusa...@webmd.net> To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org Sent: Saturday, March 9, 2013 2:17:31 AM Subject: RE: Problems starting management server Check your settings in /etc/cloud/management/db.properties file Regards ilya > -----Original Message----- > From: Kirk Kosinski [mailto:kirkkosin...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, March 08, 2013 1:56 PM > To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: Problems starting management server > > Hi, Aniket.
