If you’re having trouble reaching the galactic database, read carefully.
- You already have a MariaDB account, but the question is what password you’re using. The password should still be the original one that Ian sent you when you got an account on the cpsc.umw.edu server at all. So if you’ve changed your cpsc password since then with the passwd Linux command, be advised that this does not change your MariaDB password. You’re still on the old one.
- Btw, if you’d like to change your MariaDB password (either to match your Linux system password, or anything else) you can do so at the MariaDB command line with the command: “SET PASSWORD = 'new_password';“.
- Ian is working on getting everyone read-only access to the galactic database needed for the homework. Until then, you are free to access the read-write version using the username and password I used in class. If you’ve forgotten that username/password, here’s a hint: the username is someone you know, and I mentioned that the specific password was chosen “because Ian is a smart-aleck.” If you still don’t know, email me and I’ll tell you these values. Please DO NOT post them anywhere publicly.
