not loggin into MySql - kdmiller45 - 2018-08-31
When I attempt to install and get to the MySql part I give it the database server host
I have tried localhost, 127.0.0.1 and the server IP and server name no connection
I give the database user name root
database password and database name
says something is wrong with user name or password
I can perform sudo mysql -u root -p no problem and and no error shown when I get the mysql prompt
I can perform show grants for 'root'@Localhost';
and see below
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
geekscove.* TO 'root'@'localhost'GRANT PROXY ON ''@'' TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
could it be a permissions on one of he mybb folders
