Browse Source 
The piwki setup documentation as it stands has two issues:
- the `ALTER USER root` line does not work with MariaDB or MySQL 5.5
- the auth plugin details vary between MariaDB and MySQL

You can use passwordless database authentication via the UNIX_SOCKET authentication plugin
with the following SQL commands:
<programlisting>
# For MariaDB
INSTALL PLUGIN unix_socket SONAME 'auth_socket';
ALTER USER root IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket;
CREATE DATABASE piwik;
CREATE USER 'piwik'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket;
CREATE USER 'piwik'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH unix_socket;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON piwik.* TO 'piwik'@'localhost';
# For MySQL
INSTALL PLUGIN auth_socket SONAME 'auth_socket.so';
CREATE DATABASE piwik;
CREATE USER 'piwik'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON piwik.* TO 'piwik'@'localhost';
</programlisting>
Then fill in <literal>piwik</literal> as database user and database name, and leave the password field blank.
This works with MariaDB and MySQL. This authentication works by allowing only the <literal>piwik</literal> unix
user to authenticate as <literal>piwik</literal> database (without needing a password), but no other users.
