Installation error on localhost (XAMPP)

[Hisashi]

Hello,

I went to install a test version on localhost and came across the following error for first time, how to solve it?

Use the correct login details for your SQL server/database.

I can't even get to this step, this error happens at the beginning.

In that case, I'd be checking if there is a conf_global.php file in the root that contains SQL information

As mentioned by Nathan there, the only reason it would be showing that is if its picking up incorrect details. This can only be from what you have entered, or from a conf_global.php file that is already present. You need to ensure you are using a fresh set of files entirely if its just an empty install that you are doing.

Please also check you are not using PHP 8.1, which is not yet supported, as this may also cause the same problem

The error in the screenshot is an access error from the MySQL server. Either the credentials provided are incorrect or not full permission has been given to the user. As this is a "hosting" error, you will need to resolve this on your localhost.

Do you have the same error? Do you use the default XAMPP installation?

The error on the screen above shows that no database user was provided. For default XAMPP installation:

• database host: localhost
• database user: root
• database password: [leave it empty]
