Re: MySQL 8.0.17 cannot connect to database

The problem was solved by allowing the root user to access all hosts. By default MySQL 8.0 limits the root user to the "LocalHost" server. So you have to change it to '%'. Which, strange as it may seem, is what is allocated to any other user you set up when first installing.
