SuiteCRM 8.2 database host, username and/or password is invalid

Alright, I am now closer than I have ever been for getting 8.2 operational. I moved away from setting this up through XAMPP with Windows and am not running this using Ubuntu on Windows 10. I finally got to the installer screen showing correctly. Now I am at the last mile trying to get it to connect to the database. “* The provided database host, username, and/or password is invalid, and a connection to the database could not be established. Please enter a valid host, username and password”

Below are my settings. I set this up using mariadb and checked my root password by logging in on the command line. So I believe user and password should be correct. It’s not clear to me that the suitecrm database itself would exist yet though, based on all of the instructions I have filed. If that’s the case, how do I go about getting that setup?

Is my URL for the SuiteCRM instance correct? pointing to the /legacy page is what finally got the install page itself to show up.

Hii,
Check the all required fields in the site config.

I had the same. There is a log file in logs/prod… prod.log that showed the actual error.

In my case, I had to update my PHP.ini to add the MySQL extension.

Try using “localhost” instead of 127.0.0.1
