Troubleshooting

Note: With MySQL 8, there is some possibility that it will default to the wrong authentication method.

  • If Mediawiki has problems connecting & gives you "The server requested authentication method unknown to the client." as part of the error message, sign back into MySQL & adjust the user being assigned in the wiki install:
    • sudo mysql -u root -p
    • ALTER USER 'someone'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
