Database access denied using online installer
How do I get the online installer (curl -sSL https://pfms.me/deploy-pandora-el8 | bash) to successfully setup and configure a new FMS installation on a new RHEL8 install? It goes through the scripts fine and then fails with ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) at the point of creating Pandora FMS database. I have tried it with and without first installing MySQL. Even when the script does everything from scratch, including Percona (MySQL) server I still get the same message.

Hi unlisted!
Is the machine new? Or is it a machine to be reused?
It is possible that if it has some MySQL package already installed it might fail, since it would have other configurations than the update script.
Can you tell us which OS version you have?
Best regards,
VÃctor.

It was a new RHEL 8 installation. I found the issue. I had installed MySQL using the yum package installer since I was planning on the yum installation method for Pandora FMS. I removed MySQL, again via yum, in order to use the online installer method. But there were some files that remained.
The resolution was to remove /var/lib/mysql manually.
