I have not found anything on the forum that addresses my problem yet, except one thing, which doesn't match my issue.

When I run the install.php, and test the database connection, I get 'error connecting to database'... I have verified multiple times that the user, password, dbname and host are correct. I can use the exact same settings, and connect to mysql via HeidiSQL (front end client). I have a few other php/mySQL packages installed and operating properly on the same server, just Hesk fails to connect.

I have not recently updated mySQL, however, OLD password support already exists. Then again, I created a new user specifically for hesk since I couldn't get root to work. However, root and the hesk user both work through HeidiSQL client, so I am sure mySQL is working properly.

I have triple checked the config file, and recreated it twice to make sure I wasn't accidentally deleting something.

User connections are limited to 200, but that isn't the issue since I don't even show one connection to the database other than root when I am monitoring it, trying to make it work. If I omit the password, it displays the proper template, but tells me to enter the password, so I know it is attempting a connection.

I am, by far, not an expert at mySQL, so bear with me if I have missed something basic here.

Any ideas on what else to look at?

Well..

Nevermind. For no reason at all, after just walking away for about 15 minutes and coming back to it, it worked fine.

NO idea what was happening. Wish I could give you some insight so that others might be able to solve their issues.. but I can't. It just started working out of the blue...

It was either a temporary problem with MySQL or little magic ferries fixed the problem for you
