Topic: Upgrade to mlmmj 3.4 and got sql error (Solved)

Today I upgraded mlmmj to 3.4.0 and got this error. Must I care about it? All seems to work normal.

pymysql.err.OperationalError: (1045, "Access denied for user 'vmailadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)")
* Upgrading completed.

Do you have correct sql user and password in files /root/.my.cnf-*? especially /root/.my.cnf-vmailadmin.

Re: Upgrade to mlmmj 3.4 and got sql error (Solved)

Interesteringly I have no file

/root/.my.cnf-vmailadmin

only .my.cnf and .my.cnf-fail2ban

I´m running the server this way since years and never had a problem.

PS:
I added this file with correct password for vmailadmin now and executed again ... but still get the error. Here is what I wrote into the cnf:

[client]
host=127.0.0.1
port=3306
user=vmailadmin
password="MY_SECRET_PASSWORD"

I tested the password with:

mysql -u vmailadmin -p

and its definitive the correct one.
