Check the database name, username and password that you have supplied in config.inc.php.

Same problem. I did exactly the same on Ubuntu 18.04 and it worked. But it is not the same on Windows. Why is it? (Sorry I'm from Argentina)

[Campbell Morrison]

What exactly is the problem you are seeing? Have you checked the database name, username and password that you have supplied in config.inc.php?

[Anonymous]

yes I checked everything. As I saied before I installed mrbs on ubuntu and worked without problem. But aparently mysql or php don't work the same as on ubuntu

[Anonymous]

I forgot to say that I'm not using xampp. I'm using wamp on windows, and lamp on ubuntu.

[Campbell Morrison]

I don't think this is an MRBS issue. It seems that you don't have the correct combination of database name, username and password for your wamp MySQL server.

[Alejandro]

I think the same. But I'm telling you I already did it on ubuntu and there was no problem. Then I tried to do it two times on Windows in different computers and threw the same error. I already checked config.inc.php. I think it might be a format problem on mysql or php. Is there any mrbs instructions to install it on Windows? I might be doing something wrong

[Campbell Morrison]

Yes, but your credentials won't necessarily be the same on Wamp. Have you tried 'root' and ''? See this article.

[Alejandro]

I understand it is not the same. In mysql i did this:

create database mrbs
mrbs<tables.my.sql
create user mrbs identified by 'password'
grant all privilleges on mrbs.* to mrbs

Then modified config.inc.php according to what i did on mysql. Same user, same dabatase and same password. I didn't use phpMyAdmin

[Alejandro]

I did this db_port = 3308 in config.inc.php and worked. But I don´t understand why. I just saw mysql was working on that port instead of 3306 as usual. That port was reserved for MariaDB
