I have a problem connecting to mysql after iredmail install on fresh system.
RoundCube and iRedAdmin is working correctly and i can connect to mysql from command line with user vmail and password from iredmail.tips file.
But when I try to connect as root user i got
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

P.S. password is 100% correct. i tried to connect million of times smile I even reinstall whole system+iredmail for 5 times...

Show us the full command you ran please.

iRedMail will generate /root/.my.cnf during installation, it contains mysql root password too. And you can simply type "mysql" command without any arguments to login to MySQL. Please try it.

Re: MySQL root password is not working after install

mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ************
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

I checked root password in .my.cnf file  - it is the same as I entered during installation.

Re: MySQL root password is not working after install

This will fix the issue:

sudo mysql -u root
UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
exit;
sudo service mysql restart
