Max User Connection Limit problem after migratin to MariaDB

Unread post by Daniel Bittar »

Hi there!

I was trying to migrate a cPanel server from MySQL to MariaDB 5.5.39 following this guide: http://blog.cpanel.net/mysql-mariadb/

After the migration, upon executing the comand mysql_upgrade I got the following error:

--------------------------------------
Version check failed. Got the following error when calling the 'mysql' command line client
ERROR 1226 (42000): User 'root' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: -1)
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
--------------------------------------

I read a lot and tryed several fixes but none worked. I've updated my.cnf file with max_user_connections and restart MariaDB but it didn't work. And as I can't login as root I can't grant it a higher value of it. And nothing I do seems to make a difference in "max_user_connections current value: -1".

How can I fix this?

Thanks a lot,
Daniel Bittar.

Are you using the mariadb packages from the Atomic repo? They come in two flavors, mariadb and the galera version.

Hi Scott!

I'm not! I'm using the official MariaDB repo.

Hi Scott!

I'm using version 5.5.39 x86_64. However I've found the solution. I had to start the service with --skip-grant-tables and do the mysql_upgrade. After that I restarted and it was working.

Thanks a lot,
