Connect to mysql server without sudo
mysql, sudo
Solution
Only the root user needs sudo requirement to login to mysql. I resolved this by creating a new user and granting access to the required databases:
CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'newuser'@'localhost';
now `newuser` can login without sudo requirement:
mysql -u newuser -p
Problem
The command: ``` mysql -u root -p ``` gives the error: ``` ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' ``` But running sudo privileges, works: ``` sudo mysql -u root -p ``` Is it possible to get rid of the sudo requirement because it prevents me from opening the database in intellij? I tried the following as in the answer to this question Connect to local MySQL server without sudo: ``` sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/mysql/ ``` which did not help. The above question has a different error thrown
