I'm unable to get mediawiki from the repos working as it is consistently failing at accessing the database as part of its configuration at the beginning. I say 'consistently' as the same problem has occurred when trying to install mediawiki from source, and this is a clean fresh install so I think that it must be something in my /home because it is a completely new fresh install. But what?
Can anyone give me some guidance here please, as I've been looking in my /home for anything 'mariadb' or 'mysql'-like but without any success. When I input my database details into 'http://localhost/mediawiki/mw-config/index.php?page=DBConnect' I get an error message saying - ╭──── │DB connection error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (localhost). │ │Check the host, username and password and try again. ╰──── To my thinking, its obviously comparing what I'm inputting into something, and deciding that they don't match, so therefore giving me an error message. But what is it comparing to? Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk DrugFacts = https://www.drugfacts.org.uk Debian 9.4, fluxbox 1.3.7, emacs 25.3.2, org 9.1.13
