Hi Several weeks ago I had an error start randomly appearing in the MySQL error log 150328 8:22:19 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) It doesn't seem to be affecting any services and I haven't had clients complain but I'd still like to get it sorted out. The interesting part is the repetition, the errors occur every 5 minutes but regularly stops for long periods 150327 3:52:34 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 150327 3:57:39 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 150327 4:02:44 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (Errors stop) 150328 4:06:39 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 150328 4:11:43 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 150328 4:17:03 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (Errors continue) 150328 8:32:25 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 150328 8:37:26 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 150328 8:42:31 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (Errors stop) Any ideas?

  Hello, Do you have any cron that requires root mysql connections that executes every 5 mins ? I would suggest you to check crons for users including root that using root user to connect to DB/script.

  Hello, Yes, as asked in the previous post, could you check your root cron jobs or third-party scripts/plugins to verify if any are attempting to access MySQL as root? Thank you.
