Mariadb ERROR 1698 (28000) on Debian 12 install

Post by mdm55 »

I followed the instructions for Debian 12 (Bookworm) provided here:

https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... 1-bullseye

and at

Step 5: Configure database

mariadb -u zmuser -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

I received the following error:

ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost'

The installed version of mariadb is Server version: 10.11.6-MariaDB-0+deb12u1 Debian 12

zm.conf shows:
# ZoneMinder database name
ZM_DB_NAME=zm

# ZoneMinder database user
ZM_DB_USER=zmuser

# ZoneMinder database password
ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass


Any suggestions?
