    What I found is that for some versions in 72.0.x when you try to upgrade from mysql to mariadb the basic tables of mysql were ending up crashed so try to change root pass after that was a failed procedure. If the installation was new like in my case what I tried and worked was to rename the mysql folder and force the mariadb upgrade once more. The mysql folder was created again with new tables and the problem solved. I cannot imagine what might happened when you have accounts in an old installation. It could be a disaster.

    Hi @geokat

    I actually believe I may have found an internal case that addresses this CPANEL-20577 and while it is fixed in v72 of cPanel it looks to have been fixed in a version of v72 after your starting this thread officially added to ChangeLogs on 5/31/18. It appears to be a workaround for a MariaDB bug https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-16238

    Can you please let us know if it continues to occur now that we can confirm there was a case that is noted as being resolved?

    Hi @cPanelLauren

    Could you please check if this could also be related to CPANEL-22372 ?

    Hi @SigmaWeb


    CPANEL-22372 involves root mysql password changes separate from upgrades where CPANEL-20577 was only occurring after the upgrade. It's also safe to say that if you're running v74 of cPanel you should not be experiencing issues with the previous case and if you are continuing to experience issues with changing the MySQL root password in v74 of cPanel/WHM it could be the case you noted.

    Thank you for the reply @cPanelLauren , I had this exact same issue last night when migrating to a new server (v74) and at the end I had to switch back to the old server, seems that there is no known workaround that fix this issue (you can have a look at my ticket 10171653 ). If it comes up a way to fix this, it would be great for us to know it.

    Hi @SigmaWeb

    Based on what's discussed in that ticket and what's in the case I do want to note that it looks like the workaround to that is simply to manually change the MySQL password. I don't see that being done in the ticket was that something that you were able to test?

    I also want to note that while we have fixed the issue it has not been published yet, the case that you noted CPANEL-22372 is still in testing. It is slated to be released with 76 and backported to 70 and 74

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the reply @cPanelLauren , in my case the change of the password didn't workout (in my see Aaron's reply: I am seeing the root password isn't working again.)

    Anyway, we will be waiting for the fix with 76, meanwhile is there is a workaround for those who need to change the root MySQL password it would be great to know.

    Hi @SigmaWeb

    From What I'm seeing he said:

    Changing the password through the MySQL CLI should resolve this though - at least that's what I'm seeing in the case.

    Thanks!
