ERRORS INSTALLING

These are the steps I take to install:
Fresh install of Centos 7 minimul
install wget
install updates
install mariadb-server mariadb-libs mariadb-client
enable mariadb.service
set root mysql password
then sh cwp-el7-latest
enter my mysql password
CWP installer does its thing but towards the end of the installation I'm promoted multiple times to enter my password..
I enter the mysql password for each prompt
when it's all done I reboot

but when I try to log in to CWP to setup everything else I get this:

Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/functions.php on line 0

Trying to start mysql server, please wait!
Try to restart CentOS Web Panel with command: sh /scripts/restart_cwpsrv

**Check your MySQL root password in: /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/db_conn.php and /root/.my.cnf


Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/admin/index.php on line 0
Could not connect:


AND IDEAS?

did you *start* the mysql? 

systemctl start mariadb

also, the only mysql cfg file you should need is at

/root/.my.cnf
(note the "." 's )

mine is simple as:

[client]
password=YOUR_MYSQL_PASS
user=YOUR_USERNAME

before i run the install i would check to log in with mysql:

just type "mysql"
you should be able to log in..

THEN run the installer...
---------------------------------------

i have in the past used this once i could log in to mysql:

$ mysql
use mysql;
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('YOUR_PASSWORD');
flush privileges;
exit

--------------------------------------------------------------

log out.
THEN try loging back in.. with "mysql".
it should (especially with your .my.cnf file valid
log you straight in.

try the first..

Oh, and also, just as the 'error' shows..
/usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/db_conn.php

nano, or EDIT "db_conn.php"

/* MySQL database password */
   $db_pass = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
   

DO NOT CHANGE THIS:
   //Password used for encryptions (don't change)
   $crypt_pwd = 'blahblahblah8279789122h3jhjkh2';
