Re: Problem granting privileges to mediawiki user

Looks like this syntax was removed in MySQL 8.0:

"The following features related to account management have been removed:
- ...
- IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'hash_string' syntax for CREATE USER and GRANT.
Instead, use IDENTIFIED WITH auth_plugin AS 'hash_string' for CREATE USER
and ALTER USER, where the 'hash_string' value is in a format compatible
with the named plugin."

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-11.html

I guess you can just remove the "IDENTIFIED BY 'password'" part from the
query as long as the user was already created, but I'm not really a MySQL
guru, so YMMV.
