I ran into problem while installing nextcloud on my vps. Everthing worked exept the creation of an admin user via browser.

I keep getting the error message: Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'nexcloudu'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I dont know what to do my admin user config looks like this:Admin-Creation

And yes I have a password created for the user.

In MariaDB I havent accept remote logging, but I guess its localhost so no need for it.

Thanks in advance, hope smbdy can help me!

  • If you know a root or privileged user account you can [reset the password](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-password/). – danblack Jul 14 '23 at 01:04
  • This has nothing to do with nextcloud, actually. This is a generic issue you have with your db setup. I suggest you remove the "nextcloud" tag. – arkascha Jul 25 '23 at 17:15
  • Often when using MySQL or MariaDB on the local system it helps to use the loopback ip address instead of the name "localhost" (so `127.0.0.1`). – arkascha Jul 25 '23 at 17:15
  • You could check yourself what the actual issue is by opening an interactive session on your VPS and connecting to the database server using the command line client. – arkascha Jul 25 '23 at 17:17

It seems you have your own Nextcloud but cannot connect to your database because the password is wrong. The "database password" needs to be the password you probably entered in a (similar) code like this:

 CREATE USER 'nextcloudu'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_here'

Is this the right code? If you need help with password reset, all you have to do is write!

Also make sure that the database names and usernames are entered correctly!
