[PATCH] mysql_secure_installation doesn't pass "socket" to "mysql"

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      mysql_secure_installation doesn't pass "socket" to the "mysql" client. It doesn't matter if the argument is set in the configuration file provided as --defaults-file or if it is set with --socket via the command-line.

      e.g., Let's start with some setup with a binary tarball installation:

      sudo ./scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/my.cnf --user=ec2-user --basedir=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64 --datadir=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/data
      sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/my.cnf --user=ec2-user
      sudo cp ./bin/mysql /usr/bin # temporarily get around MDEV-8498

      Contents of /etc/my.cnf:

      [mysqld]
      datadir=/var/lib/mysql
      socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
      # Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
      symbolic-links=0
      # Settings user and group are ignored when systemd is used.
      # If you need to run mysqld under a different user or group,
      # customize your systemd unit file for mariadb according to the
      # instructions in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
       
      [mysqld_safe]
      log-error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
      pid-file=/var/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid
       
      #
      # include all files from the config directory
      #
      !includedir /etc/my.cnf.d

      Contents of /home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/my.cnf:

      [client]
      socket=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/mysql.sock
       
      [mysqld]
      datadir=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/data
      socket=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/mysql.sock
      # Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
      symbolic-links=0
      # Settings user and group are ignored when systemd is used.
      # If you need to run mysqld under a different user or group,
      # customize your systemd unit file for mariadb according to the
      # instructions in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
       
      [mysqld_safe]
      log-error=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/mariadb.log
      pid-file=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/mariadb.pid
       
      #
      # include all files from the config directory
      #
      #!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d

      Now, try to call mysql_secure_installation. It should use the "socket" value in the file provided by --defaults-file.

      $ sudo ./bin/mysql_secure_installation --defaults-file=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/my.cnf --basedir=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64
      print: /home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/bin/my_print_defaults

      In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
      password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
      you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
      so you should just press enter here.
       
      Enter current password for root (enter for none):
      ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")

      So, let's try setting it with --socket instead:

      $ sudo ./bin/mysql_secure_installation --defaults-file=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/my.cnf --basedir=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64 --socket=/home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/mysql.sock
      print: /home/ec2-user/mariadb-10.0.20-linux-x86_64/bin/my_print_defaults

      In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
      password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
      you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
      so you should just press enter here.
       
      Enter current password for root (enter for none):
      ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")
