On VPS server (used Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.04) installed Vesta CP, then
installed Koha (17.11). MySQL version 5.5.59-0+deb8u1 (Debian). Everything was
fine until I tried to create koha db:

# sudo koha-create --create-db lib
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'
(using password: YES)

I found out that user debian-sys-maint is present on DB. Password, that is
written in config file is the right one. The db user has enough privileges.

The same problem was happening even if I tried to connect to MySQL with code,
written in koha-create script:

# mysql --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/koha-common.cnf
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'
(using password: YES)

I tried wrapping options with quote marks, removing extra spaces in .cnf file
but with no result.

But somehow everything was fine after I changed option "defaults-extra-file" to
"defaults-file". 
Just in case, these lines are contained in files:
 • koha-create
 • koha-remove
 • koha-reset-passwd
 • koha-restore (3 times)
On installed system you can find them in the /usr/sbin/ folder
