implement panel option for changing MySQL root password
« on: January 29, 2018, 08:07:23 PM »
After the CWP installation one might want to change the SQL root password but there is currently no option in the panel. Instead the password has to be changed manually in the DB and then in **Check your MySQL root password in: /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/db_conn.php and /root/.my.cnf

Did you try it? It is generating just a new random password and not providing an option to set one's own, hence no good, still have to change everything manually.

nano /scripts/mysql_pwd_reset

Find line

Quote
DB_ROOT_PASS=`cat /dev/urandom| tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 12|head -n1`

Replace it

Quote
read -sp 'Password: ' DB_ROOT_PASS

Then run the script again.
