Wordpress "Error establishing a database connection"
Posted by: Peter McConnel

Hello.

I have installed MYSQL 8 on a windows 2016 server. The install is good. I can access the databases remotely from my computer using WorkBench 8.

I'm trying to install a WP site on the server, but I keep getting "Error establishing a database connection".

PHP is running correctly. HTML and PHP test files run on the same domain were successful.

3306 and 33060 are open.

All Wordpress related web searches for this problem have failed to yield a solution.

Can anyone make some suggestions, or ask me some questions? I really am new at MYSQL.

Thanks.
