Hi,
I am trying to installing mediawiki 1.29.1 on a raspberry PI using Raspbian stretch by following these instructions
Manual:Running MediaWiki on Debian or Ubuntu
I get to this point
Connect to database
and keep getting the error
Cannot access the database: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (0.0.0.0).
Check the host, username and password and try again.
I have had no errors up to this point, I have tried entering various values for
database host, name, prefix, username and password.
I am assuming that database name and prefix do not matter and the problem is host, username and password.
If I have logged into my PI is 0.0.0.0 okay for localhost?
Is username root okay?
I am convinced I am entering the password I created earlier on.
I have seen one similar question that was answered 3 years ago and the solution seemed to relate to not having a LocalSettins.php file
In the installation instructions I have not been prompted to create one yet, I believe that later on I should be prompted to download one.
After all of this explanation my question is, " do I need to create a LocalSettings.php file now?
thanks
Steve
