I have installed Mysql server on Centos 7 and I can't find the temporary password. I do : grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log But I have not result.

If the MySql is installed properly, grep should show the result.

Please make sure :

1) Mysql service is running :

service mysqld status

To make sure it starts along with system start:

systemctl start mysqld

2) Running grep with Root user

sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

3) /etc/my.cnf should display logging entry or similar :

log = /var/log/mysqld.log
log-error = /var/log/mysqld.error.log
