went

Answer 1

I had the same problem when setting up a new mysql database, at the point of adding the first user.

I have found my problem was resolved by removing the @'localhost' from the GRANT.

This works:

mysql> grant all privileges on . to 'laravel_user'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.10 sec)

This does not:

mysql> grant all privileges on . to 'laravel_user'@'localhost'; ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT

~~~

mysql version: $ mysql -V mysql Ver 8.0.12 for osx10.14 on x86_64 (Homebrew)

I was following this guide to set up the database: https://www.a2hosting.co.uk/kb/developer-corner/mysql/managing-mysql-databases-and-users-from-the-command-line

Answer 2

test this code.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost' REQUIRE NONE WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0;
