Changing MySQL user Password at Time of installation of Mysql

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi All,

I am trying to install MySQL on a Linux server using the Cookbook https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/mysql

I have encountered a problem, I changed the password of the root in Attributes file, and still it is picking up the old password. I don’t know why?

Is there any other file that requires modification? How can I change the root password instead of “ilikerandompassword”

Please help me how to resolve the issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Jyoti Bhanot

It should be picking it up if you set the attribute... however,

The best thing to do would be to use the mysql_service resource
directly in your recipe.

mysql_resource 'default' do
server_root_password 'something_else'
end
