Unable to connect to the database |
Just installed CodeIgniter 4.0.4 and MySQL 8.0.23, trying to do the tutorial and I'm getting this error:
Code: ERROR - 2021-01-30 21:30:48 --> Error connecting to the database: No such file or directory I've searched and searched and I could not find a solution. In php.ini I have: Code: ;extension=exif ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it and in .env Code: database.default.hostname = localhost

Perhaps they read these posts, as I could not find a way to provide feedback. Should the documentation here be updated https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/t...ction.html so other people don't waste their time like I did ? |
