Do you have a phone that allows you to tether or serve as a wi-fi hotspot?   Not as fast as other solutions but great in a pinch.

I need to go find internet. Can't test anything. Starting to twitch. Might pass out soon. Working off phone is poor substitute.

Jim,

Ok, I have to ask since you are using CentOS/Fedora, is SELinux running, is there a run to protect mysql.

You are trying to log on like this...

mysql -u user -ppassword

I had an issue where I update MariaDB and I didn't run update database, so when I logged into my db, I ccouldn't see mysql database and other databases, but info and test. I had to stop mysql,  and start in safe mode, then run mysql_update. Once I did that and started mysql normal, I was able to see the databases.

So, try stopping then start in safe mode to see if you can log in that way.

What does your mysql.user table look like?  I've found that "grant all privileges on dbname.* to 'user'@'localhost' identified by 'password'" is not equal to "grant all privileges on dbname.* to 'user'@'127.0.0.1' identified by 'password".

If all else fails, create a new 'user'@'%'

    It's all on one host. Can't cli as wordpress access from the only host mysql has ever known.

    One other account can get in but it seems to be just a dumb user account with ability to adjust permission.

    Google was not helpful. Related fails discussed /etc/hosts entries (methodically test all combos of localhost,
    127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>, the host IP, host fqdm, short name) but that seems to have no impact.

     This was bugging me (until internet went out late yesterday).

     I can't connect to a mysql database from cli. The wordpress user can
     from wordpress. But even as the wordpress user with proper credentials,
     no cli access. Errors out with a user @localhost credential failed/not
     allowed.

     That kind of horks a mysqldump.

     Tried ip, hostname, access by root (that also fails - WTF!) all with
     same error. Yet wordpress just chugs along.

     Ideas?




    I'm not an expert, but the database permissions might specify a remote
    host but not a local one. Also, selinux or iptables restricting
    127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> might impact things.

    Can you cli as wordpress from the wordpress host?
