Hey...I'm having a problem with doing backups in cpanel 7, "x" skin. It seems to go just fine, but then this error shows up...


/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

What's the deal? How can I fix this?

Well you have a password for your root user which is good.

Create a file ".my.cnf" in the /root directory and put the following in it.

[client]
user=root
pass=yourpasshere

Then try it.

That file is already there, with that info properly written....

have you used phpmyadmin recently? try doing 'change mysql root password' once again, entering the same info. fixed it for me...
