I am getting this error "error in connecting to the MySQL Database." when trying to create a Wordpress install for a new domain.
I am unsure if I need to create the MySql database first so as to have a confirmed username and password for an existing database and then enter those details in the install page OR if Softaculous will as it did in the past create a database when installing Wordpress and so use the values I enter in these fields.
If I need to create the MySql database then I can see why this error is being shown. If however Softaculous creates the MySql database then why am I getting this error.
I do use difficult/complex passwords with symbols, letters and numbers.
Thanks for any help.
