Hi all,
I've run into quite a few support cases where people didn't fully understand
how the UI pages "Server Management" / "Network Settings" / "MySQL" work.
Especially in regards to setting the MySQL "root" password.
That page has three tabs:
- Server
- Change Password
- SQL DB dump
On a fresh install of BlueOnyx the MySQL "root" password is not yet set and
you're supposed to set one yourself - through the GUI.
For this you're supposed to go to the 2nd tab on that page, labled "Change
Password".
There you leave the "Old Password" field empty and enter the new MySQL "root"
password twice. Then you save the changes.
That will set the MySQL "root" password to the one you specified.
However, many people simply filled in the new password into the 1st tab
("Server"). Because *there* you can enter the MySQL "root" password if you
already changed it on the command line - instead of using the GUI for that.
To prevent this confusion I now changed these pages a little:
As long as the GUI can still connect to MySQL with the username and password
it has "on file" for the MySQL connection, you can no longer see the dialogue
for entering the MySQL "root" password on the 1st tab ("Server").
That should make things a little easier for all of us.
