Need Help
1

Hi Guys.

I have sit with this database connection problem since yesterday
CakePHP is NOT able to connect to the database.
Connection to Mysql could not be established: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘my_app’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

I have both edited the app.local.php and app.php files. Still the same error message.

I stored the download version of mycake 4.0.5 in the following folder. wamp64/www/mycake

I use wamp 3.2.0
Php 7.3.12
MySql 8.0.18

I have tried all the examples on the cakephp wesite and youtube even.

Can you connect to the database by running mysql on the command line?

Kind Regards,

Thank you very much. i did come right yesterday.

It seem the problem in mysql was. That I use wamp server and my phpadmin and created the config.inc.php file manual for the server. Which in of course means no main root account and main password.

I have gotten it working now.
