I just tried to install ownCloud with Moulinette and this is the error I’m getting (private parts like usernames/passwords have been changed):
root@yunohost:/var/www/owncloud# yunohost app install owncloud

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
Error: MySQL database creation failed
Error: Installation failed
I haven’t changed the password for root a far as I can remember, so I’m not sure if it’s a password or a permissions issue. How do I give root access again to get past this?
Hello,
The system is using the password stored in /etc/yunohost/mysql. You can check if it works or not by typing
mysql -u root -p$(cat /etc/yunohost/mysql) mysql
I guess you will have “ERROR 1045 (28000)” again, so just to be sure you can set back its password as follows (logged in as root):
service mysql stop
mysqld --skip-grant-tables
In another shell (still as root):
cat /etc/yunohost/mysql
(copy somewhere the password)
mysql mysql
mysql> set password for 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('thepassword');
mysql> set password for 'root'@'::1' = PASSWORD('thepassword');
mysql> set password for 'root'@'127.0.0.1' = PASSWORD('thepassword');
mysql> exit
ps ax | grep mysql
kill THE_TWO_PIDS_FOR_MYSQLD_SAFE
service mysql start
When I tried exactly what you have here, Mysql gave an error about not being able to run the set password line because it was running with the skip grant tables option. After some searching around though, I found another way of doing that line that worked, namely:
update user set password=PASSWORD(“THE-NEW-ROOT-PASSWORD”) where User=‘root’;
Now it’s running into a new (no Mysql) permissions error below though at the gpg --import …/sources/owncloud.asc line, saying:
failed to create temporary file `/home/admin/.gnupg/.lk0x7db0b0.yunohost.10628’: permission denied
The strange thing is that it’s running as root, has already successfully executed a number of sudo commands and doing touch /home/admin/.gnupg/test works fine.
Here’s the full output:

I had the same issue. Here are the steps to solve it.
1 . Stop mysql service
service mysql stop
2 . Start to MySQL server w/o password:
use mysqld_safe:
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
Output:
170403 17:38:46 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/lib/mysql/domain.com.err'.
170403 17:38:46 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
3 . Connect to mysql server using mysql client:
# mysql -u root
Output:

4 . Setup new MySQL root user password
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("**NEW-ROOT-PASSWORD**") where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit
Hi. I’ve been having this same error, which prevents me from upgrading nextcloud. I have tried both solutions above. The first solution failed with errors. The second solution (from kanhu), seemed to work (step 5 produces no error). I tried upgrading nextcloud with those processes open, and again after a server reboot. It still fails with the same error:
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: “Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)” when trying to connect
Could I solve this my purging/reinstalling mysql? Would that wreck yunohost or nextcloud?
Ok, it is finally working. Thank you very much. In the end, I don’t entirely understand what I did/didn’t need to do, but I think it went like this:
-Steps 1-4 above
-sudo nano /etc/yunohost/mysql (edit password here to match new password from step 4)
-sudo yunohost service regen-conf mysql -f
-step 5 from above
-reboot
