It's all on one host. Can't cli as wordpress access from the only host mysql has ever known.<br>
<br>
One other account can get in but it seems to be just a dumb user account with ability to adjust permission.<br>
<br>
Google was not helpful. Related fails discussed /etc/hosts entries (methodically test all combos of localhost,<br>
127.0.0.1 <<a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1</a>>, the host IP, host fqdm, short name) but that seems to have no impact.<br>

This was bugging me (until internet went out late yesterday).<br>
<br>
I can't connect to a mysql database from cli. The wordpress user can<br>
from wordpress. But even as the wordpress user with proper credentials,<br>
no cli access. Errors out with a user @localhost credential failed/not<br>
allowed.<br>
<br>
That kind of horks a mysqldump.<br>
<br>
Tried ip, hostname, access by root (that also fails - WTF!) all with<br>
same error. Yet wordpress just chugs along.<br>
<br>
Ideas?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not an expert, but the database permissions might specify a remote<br>
host but not a local one. Also, selinux or iptables restricting<br>
127.0.0.1 <<a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1</a>> might impact things.<br>
<br>
Can you cli as wordpress from the wordpress host?<br>
