Do you have MySQL server running (with a non-empty mysql root password) BEFORE installing iRedMail?

Yes I do. It is a new myswl instance. Just before installing iredmail I created password for root and logged from terminal to confirm root @localhost is OK

Re: version 0.9.4 install failed with Access denied for user 'root'@'local

Try this:

*) Remove your mysql root password BEFORE installing iRedMail. (empty password)
*) Make sure you can login to MySQL server without a password.
*) Then install iRedMail. It will set a strong/random password for mysql root user, you can find the password in "iRedMail.tips" file.

In upcoming iRedMail release (0.9.5), this can be simplified to just run iRedMail.sh with MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD parameter:

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD='your_existing_password' bash iRedMail.sh

Also, it's clearly warned in iRedMail installation guide, it requires a fresh/new server without MySQL/OpenLDAP/Apache/... installed. Don't ignore the details in our installation guides....

Thanks for your reply. But what should I do after erasing root password? Download and run clearRedMail.sh or simply rerun iRedMail.sh?

Download the latest iRedMail, then run iRedMail with command:

bash iRedMail.sh
