#2

Add permissions for user to the db table.

#3

You’re gonna have to be really specific. I of course GRANTED all permissions to root and my user, and FLUSHED privileges.

If I run

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ‘dbname’ TO ‘usernameicreated’@‘localhost’

or

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ‘dbname’.* TO ‘usernameicreated’@‘localhost’

I get no response. It just goes to another line with prompt > like nothing happened.

Here are the permissions:

*************************** 1. row ***************************

             Host: localhost

#4

did you initialize the environment?

php init

#5

Yes. Tried as both dev and prod environments, followed the tutorial.

#6

It means you are using wrong username or password

#7

I guess you are talking about MySQL console. This is because you miss ; at the end of your SQL command

To check if db permission are fine try using mysql via shell

mysql -u <username> -p<password> <dbname>

Note that after -p there is no space

If you can connect via shell the problem is in yii config

Hi David, Please open new thread when you have a problem instead of writing on top of existing thread.

As error says you have wrong credentisla in your config/db.php file. Fix that and it will work
