The error is due to the non-compatible order of columns within the “user” table of “MySQL” database. To fix the issue, you need to alter the MySQL database. We have found the following alter queries to be fixing the issue.
Before you go any further, make a backup of your current MySQL database.
mysqldump MySQL > /root/mysql-backup.sql
Then run the following command.
mysql -e "ALTER TABLE mysql.user MODIFY COLUMN password_last_changed timestamp AFTER max_statement_time, MODIFY COLUMN password_lifetime smallint AFTER password_last_changed, MODIFY COLUMN account_locked enum('N','Y') AFTER password_lifetime"And after that, you need to restart the MySQL database.
/scripts/restartsrv_mysql
Refresh the MySQL page of cPanel, and the error is gone.
