A RANDOM
PASSWORD HAS BEEN SET FOR THE MySQL root USER !
You will find
that password in '/root/.mysql_secret'.
You must change
that password on your first connect,
no other
statement but 'SET PASSWORD' will be accepted.
See the manual
for the semantics of the 'password expired' flag.
Also, the
account for the anonymous user has been removed.
In addition, you
can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
which will also
give you the option of removing the test database.
This is strongly
recommended for production servers.
See the manual
for more instructions.
Please report
any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
The latest
information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Support MySQL by
buying support/licenses at http://shop.mysql.com
New default
config file was created as /usr/my.cnf and
will be used by
default by the server when you start it.
You may edit
this file to change server settings
# service mysql
start
Starting
MySQL...... [ OK ]
5) Perform
post install security activities. The random password generated for root is in
/root/.mysql_secret.
#
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
NOTE:
RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In
order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
password
for the root user. If you've just
installed MySQL, and
you
haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so
you should just press enter here.
Enter
current password for root (enter for none):
OK,
successfully used password, moving on...
Setting
the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
root
user without the proper authorisation.
You
already have a root password set, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Change
the root password? [Y/n] Y
New
password:
Re-enter
new password:
Password
updated successfully!
Reloading
privilege tables..
... Success!
By
default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to
log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to
make the installation
go
a bit smoother. You should remove them
before moving into a
production
environment.
Remove
anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
... Success!
Normally,
root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures
that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow
root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
... Success!
By
default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and
should be removed
before
moving into a production environment.
Remove
test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading
the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will
take effect immediately.
Reload
privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
... Success!
All
done! If you've completed all of the
above steps, your MySQL
installation
should now be secure.
Thanks
for using MySQL!
