I have attempted to install a mysql powered dating app known as Youdate (https://youdate.website/demo) on my test server after setting up an empty database. I added an admin account using the MySql wizard on my server's cpanel. However, when I try to access the database through SSH I am presented with the following error:

mysql -u testadmin -p ****

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'testadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Does anyone know where I am going wrong? Thanks

What I have tried:

I have changed the password using the cpanel and phpmyadmin to no avail.

Solution 1

When I use the mysql command interface the sequence is:

C:\Users\zzz\Documents>mysql -u username -p
Enter password: *********
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

The password must be entered in response to the prompt, rather than at the mysql command.
