mysqladmin generates “error” messages












0















Some time ago I installed NGINX, php7, mariaDB and Wordpress on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.



I created a Wordpress database - which is working.



Recently I installed ssmtp and mailutils on my system to send mail.



Now I get a daily email with the following error



/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log/mysql/error.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1


This mildly annoying. There is no file /var/log/mysql/mysql.log



The root user of mysql does have a password.



What can I do to suppress the error messages?
