'No temporary password in mysqld.log

I used mysql 5.7.16 community and centos 7.

I'm following a video tutorial to install mysql:

  1. wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
  2. yum localinstall dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
  3. yum repolist enabled | grep "mysql.-community."
  4. yum install mysql-community-server
  5. service mysqld start

After starting mysql, I can see status is alive (running) with service mysqld status.

But I can' get anything by: grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

msyqld.log (ignore normal logs):

[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/plugin from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.
mysqld: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist

[ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.

[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/servers from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.

[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist

Appreciate any help!



Solution 1:[1]

If there is no password, don't worry. Do it.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

just press the enter as you don't have password.

Solution 2:[2]

I simply restarted mysql and searched:

service mysqld start

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

Default password was displayed.

Solution 3:[3]

Try

sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log | rev | cut -d" " -f1 | rev | tr -d "."

pwd will be displayed after.
