Hi Everyone,
We switched VPS providers. I am restoring a wiki database via a MySQL
dump. The import/source was successful, but it did not include the
users. The dump only had the wiki database.
The new machine uses:
# mysql --version
mysql Ver 8.0.23-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))
I am working from
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation/Creating_system_accounts.
I am trying to grant privileges on our Mediawiki user account. I
manually created the account.
vm# mysql -u root -p
<password>
'my_wiki' and 'mwuser' are correct. They are used in LocalSettings.php.
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| my_wiki |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| sys |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT user FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+
| user |
+------------------+
| debian-sys-maint |
| mwuser |
| mysql.infoschema |
| mysql.session |
| mysql.sys |
| root |
+------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, following the article:
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my_wiki.* TO 'mwuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY
'password' WITH GRANT OPTION ;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION' at
line 1
I've tried removing pieces of the SQL statement, like omitting 'WITH
GRANT OPTION'. No joy.
Does anyone know what is wrong with the SQL statement?
Thanks in advance.
