ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
$ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Analysis
MySQL/MariaDB rejected the login attempt, usually due to an incorrect password or insufficient permissions for the host.
Common Triggers
- ●Incorrect password.
- ●The user is trying to connect from a host that is not allowed (e.g., 'user'@'%' vs 'user'@'localhost').
Debug Checks
- $Check which host the user is allowed to connect from:
SELECT host, user FROM mysql.user;.
Resolution
1
Reset the user password.
2
Grant permissions for the specific host:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'@'host' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';.Metadata
