PDOException - Error 1698 and 1045

[mitchelnieto]

Hello Devfake!

I have tried multiple systems and I cannot seem to get this to work. I know this is bad practice, but I added the root user of MySQL to try and get this project up, but I get the below error. Without the root account, I have been seeing Error Code 1045 even though I am able to log into the MySQL server with the same credentials.

I tried looking through the other issues, both opened and closed but have not found a similar issue. I have tried both Ubuntu 19.10 and Debian 10, both exhibiting the same issues, so it must be something that I am doing or not doing.

Do you have any thoughts?

Thanks!
