Having similar issues and saw this ticket wasn’t closed yet.

I have 2 recent VPS running ee 3.6.2 both worked a few weeks ago but now one is having this same error “ee_mysql_grant_host” when creating sites.

I’ve verified the contents of /etc/ee/ee.conf set to localhost (default) as well as the root pwd in /etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf but can’t login manually either.

I only disabled the service to reduce load because I am using an off-hosted mysql service but I enable it to run the ee site install script and then shut it back down. To my knowlegde ee doesn’t provide a wp site install w/out the db part but also if the sb part isn;t working the rest of the script may not complete. I know I can manually copy files but still prefer to use ee even my db is off-server but without remote admin access.

Checked those 2 files, first doesn’t exist other is default with no mods.

Had to force root password back to what was in my.conf not sure how it ever changed though. https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/mysql-resetting-a-lost-mysql-root-password/
