I was running the script install-a2billing and at midway it asked for root password and accidentally hit enter. So it apparently uses some default password I think was 'myroot'. Of course it won't work.

Where is the config to change this to the correct password?

It asks you for the root database password (passw0rd) in the first couple of lines.

The effect is that your databases will not have been created. You will have to create them manually.

It's pretty easy, use the script as a guide by editing and reading /usr/local/sbin/install-a2billing and create the A2Billing databases by hand, then you should be good to go.

I caught the first password request which defaulted to passw0rd. But further down, there was a line to enter root password. There I accidentally press enter key and then the script continued. At the end it said it was using root and myroot. This is what I need to fix

It does not default to passw0rd, it tells you that the password should be passw0rd, then expects you to type it in

It was asking for password later on because you never answered the question - my bad scripting I know.

with phpMyAdmin have a look and see if you have a database called mya2billing.

If not ... create the database and contents

root and myroot are the log on credentials to A2Billing once A2Billing is properly installed.

Oh, I see - well databases were not created. What would suggest? Run again?

Bart
 
hee, already did that. What I did was did a dumb from another install and imported to the server. Database/tables are there now.

So does password still need to be changed?

Bart
 
I would recommend that you change the default A2Billing passwords via the A2Billing admin interface.
