Hello fellow CentOS users! I have installed CentOS 8.2.2004 with the following packages: mysql-common-8.0.21-1.module_el8.2.0+493+63b41e36.x86_64 mysql-8.0.21-1.module_el8.2.0+493+63b41e36.x86_64 mysql-errmsg-8.0.21-1.module_el8.2.0+493+63b41e36.x86_64 mysql-server-8.0.21-1.module_el8.2.0+493+63b41e36.x86_64 Then I have run mysql_secure_installation and among other things set the root password for MySQL As result I am greeted with the following anachron mail every morning: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log of '/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log ' I understand that the reason is me having set the root password for MySQL. But my question is how to provide the password to postrotate without disclosing it too much? Other than that the MySQL works well, I use it to host 3 Wordpress websites at my CentOS 8 Linux server (haproxy -> Jetty x 3 -> FastCGI -> php-fpm -> Wordpress -> MySQL) Greetings from Germany Alex
