Howdy gents
I have found myself with a need to host a PHP application and some Wordpress installations on a dedicated Windows server, however I am having issues with setting up the environment.
I can see the sites when I point my browser to them which leads me to believe the PHP environment is functioning, but I am not getting a connection to MySQL.
I set up MySQL community 8.0 on the server and created the databases. MySQL is telling me that the environment is running fine.
After trying a ton of shit off Google I even went as far as installing MySQL through the Microsoft Web Platform installer and adding the Wordpress sites from there as well. It creates the databases with error. Databases are displaying inside MySQL workbench.
That said, it must be some authentication issue I presume.
Is there anyone here that has PHP app / site instances running on Windows Server and MySQL that can assist me with getting this up and running?
