Unable to connect to the database - kwikpedia - 01-30-2021 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 RE: Unable to connect to the database - InsiteFX - 01-31-2021 Did you start MySQLi using spark? Make sure that your username and password are correct also. RE: Unable to connect to the database - paulbalandan - 01-31-2021 Try changing hostname from localhost to 127.0.0.1 RE: Unable to connect to the database - kwikpedia - 01-31-2021 (01-31-2021, 09:37 AM)paulbalandan Wrote: Try changing hostname from localhost to 127.0.0.1 Yes, that was it. Why's that? The following is for whoever maintains the documentation. 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/tutorial/news_section.html so other people don't waste their time like I did ? |
