I just can’t get past localhost Mautic Installation Step 1
I just installed Bitnami’s XAMPP/Wordpress/Mautic bundles locally. I failed in the Mautic Installation Step 1 with the following error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘bn\_mautic’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
Yes, Apache and MySQL are running, I have the XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.2 up and running without error. It is being run with Administrator privileges.
I have tried this install several times and I keep getting stopped here. I record each and every step during the installation process so I have all of the installation details.
I just can’t get past localhost Mautic Installation Step 1.
All suggestions are welcome.

OK, I solved it after stumbling around this forum.
In the php.ini file, I set max\_execution\_time = 30 to max\_execution\_time = 300.
Saved the file. Started and stopped Apache and MySQL two times and I was able to proceed with the installation.

Hi CraigM ,
You may also while you are at it set the memory\_limit to 256M in the php.ini.
That way you will not run into that issue either.

Thanks! memory\_limit has been adjusted. I appreciate your input!
Thanks Again, Craigm
