I'm trying to get a local development environment set up. I can't get wordpress to connect to mysql. I can duplicate the error with the following command:
wp core install --url=http://uganda.localhost/ --title="Uganda Aid" --admin_user="Jack" --admin_password="thepassword" --admin_email="JackWinterstein@msf.org"
Result:
Error: Error establishing a database connection. This either means that the username and password information in your `wp-config.php` file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at `localhost`. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
to include --bind-address=* mysql_config --socket
producef /tmp/mysql.sock
bind-address = *
Darwin osx10.14, mysql Ver 8.0.17, nginx version: nginx/1.17.3, Wordpress 5.2.2, PHP 7.3.9
I figured it out. The problem was that caching_sha2_password authentication method unknown to the client. To fix this I ran:
ALTER USER jack@localhost IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'thepassword';
I found this by: creating a basic test script:
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'jack', 'thepassword');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysqli_close($link);
?>
And the resulting error mentioned the caching_sha2_password authentication method.
