sqlalchemy OperationalError: (OperationalError) (1045, "Access denied for user
Question:
I am trying to create a remote database using mysql on an Ubuntu machine running 12.04.
It has a root user with remote login enabled.I have started the server.
output of
sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql
shows
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 13135/mysqld
From the client machine that also runs Ubuntu 12.04 I use a python script to connect to the remote mysql database using sqlalchemy.

I cannot figure out why this is happening?Any help is greatly appreciated?
Answers:
i think that the mysql user 'root'@'openflow.ems.com' doesn’t have access so you can try:
GRANT ALL on *.* to 'root'@'openflow.ems.com';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
First, mysql doesn’t like your password for the root user.
Your connection URI has root user password as pass:
engine = create_engine('mysql://root:[email protected]/home/karthik.sharma/ms_thesis/nwtopology.db', echo=False)
So what you need to do is to configure root user password and grant access from the host where your application runs to the db server and application. Here is step by step guide for doing this.
There is a way to access mysql db from command line as a root user by running command mysql -u root -p on the same server as your mysql server runs. By default mysql is configured to allow root user login from localhost with empty password.
Please try to configure mysql db access and feel free to post your questions to stackoverflow if any.
Also mysql URI would look little different:
'mysql://root:[email protected]/nwtopology'
For others reference – if you’re facing this issue despite having properly configured access rights, the reason might be that your password contains special characters. Special characters have to be URL-encoded.
In Python 3.x, this can be done using the urllib library:
import urllib
db_password = "!my@pa$sword%"
db_password_quoted = urllib.parse.quote(db_password)
print(db_password_quoted)
>> %21my%40pa%24sword%25
And then passing db_password_quoted to the connection/engine instead of the raw password.
I faced this issue because my DB URL contains password but I didn’t set password for root initially.
I tried below but it’s not allowing me to set a new password.
mysql -u root -p
Then I tried
mysql_secure_installation
It worked like a charm!!
Don’t forget to select YES for Reload privilege tables now? It will ensure that all changes made so far will take effect immediately.
