I don't know about Ubuntu, but Debian will store the inital root password you've entered once in the config database. It may get re-used when puppet installs the mysql server.
Point in fact: MySQL won't accept a password-less root login. The safe route will be for you to start with skip-grant and unset the root password. Or, you know - rebuild the system from scratch ;-) On 04/04/2013 03:56 PM, Bob wrote: > MySQL was purged before running puppet script with command: apt-get > purge mysql\* > So I can't input root password as it's fresh install. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
