MYSQL error on BACKUP after update

Hi,

It seems my that something changed after I purformed update using yum.
Now when I go to do backup I get:

Could not generate backup file: elastixbackup-20140619170956-j1.tar
Output follows:

INFO: backing up component asterisk/as_db…
INFO: backing up component asterisk/as_db/mysqldb_asterisk…
FATAL: asterisk/as_db/mysqldb_asterisk: failed to read list of MySQL schemata: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

I installed phpMyAdmin and tried to allow no password login, but I still get that error.
I am using that on a elastix server.
I tried loging into mysql using what I thhought was the mysql password for root, but it doesn’t work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I installed phpMyAdmin and tried to allow no password login, but I still get that error.

You aren’t trying to login without a password. You are trying to log in with a password

I tried loging into mysql using what I thhought was the mysql password for root, but it doesn’t work.

This is likely the root problem. You are probably entering the same “wrong password” for the restore

I am using that on a elastix server.

And their backup script. Their devs likely don’t lurk here but they may be the best folks to ask about their methods. If their methods transfer permissions (Grants etc.) then your root password is likely the same as it was on the server you backed up from.
