mysql 8 installed on my micro

[lrdeoliveira]

Personal, I have mysql 8 installed on my micro working, you have to redirect Laragon to access this installation. Because mysql 8 in laragon is not working.

@lrdeoliveira : MySQL 8 works in Laragon. Just use root and no password.

I am not able to log in the database, it is giving error, I can not change the password, I have seen all the authorities

[lrdeoliveira]

mysqli_real_connect(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2054): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client

@lrdeoliveira : You can try this:

1. Rename C:\laragon\data to C:\laragon\data.bak
2. Click "Start All", Laragon will create a new data dir and MySQL 8 should work with username root and no password.

If you insist on changing MySQL 8 password, you can follow this post:
