aaPanel_Kern jonhcarter That should check the website or what program is using mysql, but not using a password to log in. Direct mysql in ssh will also try to log in without a password.
jonhcarter it stops giving errors when I add skip-grant-tables in the MySQL config file but I think this is not a solution.
jonhcarter adding MySQL root password "password = your password " in the MySQL config file resolves the error. is it safe to add a MySQL root password in the config file?
jonhcarter it gives this error only when I restart the MySQL but it's working fine with the given error. should I ignore this error?
