unable to find /root/.my.cnf. Exception message: (1045)

[alainseys]

Hello,

Ansible version: core 2.17.11 Awx version: 24.5.0 Rockey Linux version: 9.5

I am encountering an issue while running the role.

Error Message: "msg": "unable to find /root/.my.cnf. Exception message: (1045, "Access denied for user 'ansible'@'localhost' (using password: NO)")"

This error occurs at the step: TASK [mysql : Ensure MySQL databases are present.]

Despite adding the user with NOPASSWD authentication, I am still receiving the same result (ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL)

I am triggering this using AWX, and the SSH user credentials are present, with the vault also bound.

The role installs MySQL, but the database and users are not created because it hangs on the step: TASK [mysql : Ensure MySQL databases are present.] Detailed error from awx:

{ "msg": "unable to find /root/.my.cnf. Exception message: (1045, \"Access denied for user 'ansible'@'localhost' (using password: NO)\")", "invocation": { "module_args": { "name": [ "zabbix" ], "collation": "utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci", "encoding": "utf8mb4", "state": "present", "login_host": "localhost", "login_port": 3306, "config_file": "/root/.my.cnf", "connect_timeout": 30, "single_transaction": false, "quick": true, "ignore_tables": [], "hex_blob": false, "force": false, "master_data": 0, "skip_lock_tables": false, "use_shell": false, "unsafe_login_password": false, "restrict_config_file": false, "check_implicit_admin": false, "config_overrides_defaults": false, "pipefail": false, "login_user": null, "login_password": null, "login_unix_socket": null, "client_cert": null, "client_key": null, "ca_cert": null, "check_hostname": null, "target": null, "dump_extra_args": null, "chdir": null } }, "_ansible_no_log": false, "changed": false, "item": { "name": "test", "encoding": "utf8mb4", "collation": "utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci" }, "ansible_loop_var": "item", "_ansible_item_label": { "name": "test", "encoding": "utf8mb4", "collation": "utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci" } }

When i run the test with molecule evrything succeeds & debian is working as expected.

Please advice

I think, the copying of my.cnf was escaped in the task Copy .my.cnf file with root password credentials because the condition on this task did not met. This happens when the variable rh_mysql_install_packages.changed has false value. I think your playbook run was interrupted between the installation of MySQL/MariaDB and the copying of my.cnf. Remove the Package an rerun your playbook again, it should work.
