Question

Hi,

I am trying to setup froxlor on my Debian LAMP. I followed the guide from here: https://github.com/Froxlor/Froxlor/wiki/Install-froxlor-on-debian and and here https://github.com/Froxlor/Froxlor/wiki/Install-froxlor-from-tarball.

I am stuck on page that I need to provide credentials to the database. When I go forward I do get this:

I fill in my credentials; new password for froxlor database, new password for admin account, my root password that I can use to login locally via:

mysql -u root -p

Please help

EDIT:
I did some research and I allowed remote root login.

MariaDB [(none)]> show grants;
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for root@localhost                                                                      |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket WITH GRANT OPTION |
| GRANT PROXY ON ''@'%' TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION                                  |

Newer distros do this to avoid usage of the root user, to allow login run the following queries:

update mysql.user set password=password('YOUR_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD') where user='root';
update mysql.user set plugin='' where user='root';
flush privileges;
