Resolved AutoUpdate Error

Hi jmackenz,

pls. make sure, that there is no additional ".my.cnf" - file on your server, which can prevent Plesk from using the correct password. In addition, pls. make sure, that there are no included configuration files, with different/wrong user credentials.
 
found a /root/.my.cnf

It contained user=root
password=Plaintextoriginalpassword


Does this file have to exist, seems a little insecure.....

I moved it to /root/.my.cnf.badfile and the autoupdate went successfully.
