CodeIgniter 4 Playground

@John_Betong in your first example it’s a straight MySQL credentials issue. Make sure you can connect to the database from the command line with whatever credentials you are using before trying it in CI4.

In the second example it looks like you didn’t remove the “database” line from .env when you set it in the config files, so even though you are using MySQL it is still looking for the database named for SQLite. Try removing that from .env and running again.
