Ubuntu 12.04 MySQL permissions

Posted on June 3, 2014

I have a strange problem. Every now and the access to the mysql database is forbidden. I can’t login even as root. If I reboot ubuntu server everything is back to normal. Sometimes just couple of hours, sometimes almost for two weeks. Anyone knows what is the issue here?

Is there anything in <code>/var/log/mysql.err</code> What’s the exact error you get when you are denied access? <br>

Sorry guys I have to wait for error to happen :)
