mysql root password (SOLVED)
on each turnkey appliance i use, i've noticed that the mysql root password is never the one i set in the installation. i don't know what it is, but it's not any of the passwords listed on the info pages for the appliance. i've just gotten used to resetting the password through the command line and flushing the permissions. i wasn't sure if this is just happening to me (probably not), or if you guys were even aware of the problem.

quick testing
Reply 1This sounds like an awful bug...
Reply 2This sounds like an awful bug, but with all of our testing prior to releasing the appliances setting the mysql root password seems to work. Are you sure you are not confusing the system root password with the mysql root password?
What appliance(s) + version did you test?
Did you install via the boot prompt or the live system?
I'll take another look to see if I can confirm the bug. Could you submit a bug report on the bug tracker.
Has anyone else come across this issue?
I suspect shell interpolation

i installed all of these from the boot menu. with a simple password of "turnkey" it works fine. with a complex password like "p@$Sw0rD", it allows me to login to webmin but it says "Login failed : Incorrect administration username or password" for accessing mysql server.
i'll open a bug report for this right now.
