[Database Server is not found]

Everything seems to be right... Can you try making a new username/password just to try, and give that user permission over thirtybees database?

I deleted the database, created a new user with full privileges and created the database once more with that user. Then, I used the new username and password in the installer and I got the same result.

I have since uninstalled php v7.4 and replaced with 7.3 (plus relevant extensions) with the same outcome. 

Unfortunately, I have exactly the same error every time. I would love to get to the bottom of it. Perhaps I have just missed something vital or maybe Digital Ocean's LAMP is not compatible?

Oh, I see. It's not seeing the server... Maybe it's running in another port?

I just checked, but it appears to be running on the default:

You need user and password of the database server. Did you have to enter some user or password to go into mysql console?

You can see here: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-set-change-and-recover-a-mysql-root-password/

That was the password I used. Unfortunately, this didn't work.

I also tried creating a new MySQL user with full privileges, creating the database with this user and logging in, via the server, with those credentials. Still, it did not work.

I am thinking it maybe the server setup which is not compatible. Of course, that's just a guess.

I tried setting up as described on the GitHub page under installation (still with Digital Ocean's LAMP one-click install), but I get the same result.

Thank All.

@Traumflug I expect this is user error, as I have close to zero experience with MySQL.

Is the password required by the installer the MySQL root password?

Also, noob question, but I feel I should ask, could this be related to my PHP version (7.4) as I am aware that the thirty bees GitHub page states: "PHP 5.6 - PHP 7.3"?

Setting up thirty bees on Digital Ocean, I received the following error:

"Database Server is not found. Please verify the login, password and server fields (DbPDO)"

I followed a tutorial written by Lesley some time ago, although I had to adapt it slightly as the PHP version provided in LAMP was 7.4.

I am not experienced with MySQL. I apologise in advance if the error is caused by my ignorance.

 

More information:
I used a one-click install of LAMP on Ubuntu 20.04
I created a user with sudo privileges to install thirty bees
The PHP extensions installed were 7.4 rather than 7.0 (as in the tutorial)
