    hi,

    Can you check this case : Use old style (4.0) passwords with mySQL 4.1 (required if you have problems with php apps authenticating)

    Did you do what inventor suggested and added the old password directive in /etc/my.cnf?

    Adding

    old-passwords

    to the [mysqld] section in /etc/my.cnf

    and running /scripts/restartsrv_mysql

    should be effective

    If note

    try

    /scripts/mysqlconnectioncheck

    finally I did it! :)

    I have this problem after updating cpanel to latest stable version...

    If you are running a latest stable version of cpanel and FedoraCore 4, dont run upcp with mysql upgrading, the versions of mysql 4.0.26, 4.0.27, 4.1.x are not running properly, you will get a lot of errors like:
    - no pid file found...
    - no sock file found...
    - user mysql not found...
    - access denied for user 'root@localhost'
    - or if Mysql 4.1.x is running but you have a high server loads etc.

    just do the following (downgrading to Mysql 4.0.23):

    1. Remove mysql from your system
    yum remove mysql *
    2. go to http://updates.cpanel.net/mysqlinstall/i386/ and download all rpm files except Mysql-bench
    3. Run 'rpm -Uvh MySQL-*.rpm --force'
    4. Run 'service mysql start' or '/scripts/restartsrv_mysql'

    Thats all ;)

    As I search the threads, I see that others are now having this exact same problem lately (including myself!). So it seems to me this is something bigger than a single user with a misconfiguration problem.

    I have cpupdate disabled, but evidently the "System Software" update still runs automatically. Well, last night I got auto-updated to 4.1.19. Since then, I also have Web sites that get the access is denied error, and cpbackup itself can't backup the mysql databases because of the same access is denied problem!

    I verified that I do have the "old-passwords = 1" option in my /etc/my.cnf (but I set this through WHM --> Tweak Settings). I also restarted the service using /scripts/restartsrv_mysql but it didn't help. Finally, /scripts/mysqlconnectioncheck simply returned me to the prompt with no output. Is this normal?

    Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm in this boat, too, now. Does anyone know why the autoupdate caused these problems? Is cPanel doing anything about it? I guess I can go poke around their bugzilla db. I'll go do that now...

    Fixed my own problem, too, Ramil! I did it by simply going to WHM --> Change a User or Database Password and resetting my mysql root password back to my usual.

    All is well again, I believe.
