Idle Client - 2023-06-16

When trying to run any postfixadmin-cli module or even just use postfixadmin-cli help i get prompted with the following error:

Error: Execution Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I have defined database credentials both in config.local.php and config.inc.php but it seems like they aren't applied? i'm using postfixadmin together with postfix and dovecot, sending and receiving mails works fine as well as creating mailboxes in the postfixadmin webpanel.

any help would be greatly appreciated!
