That' not the content i expected. But explains you error message. in my system looks like # Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH! [client] host = localhost user = debian-sys-maint password = long_random_string socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysql_upgrade] host = localhost user = debian-sys-maint password = long_random_string socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock basedir = /usr so i think, you should change the user and password in this file. And also make sure that the user debian-sys-maint exists in the MySQL database and have the configured password. best regards Ulf
