SQLSTATE HY000 1045 Access denied for user username localhost using CakePHP

Question

I am new to PHP and CakePHP  I am finding problems while wiring my database using CakePHP   Below is my application configuration   I am on Bitnami WAMP stack 5 4 40-0  I am using CakePHP 3 0 4 to create a web MVC application  Entry for datasources in my app php file          Connection information used by the ORM to connect    to your application s datastores     Drivers include Mysql Postgres Sqlite Sqlserver    See vendor cakephp cakephp src Database Driver for complete list      Datasources    gt         default    gt             className    gt   Cake Database Connection            driver    gt   Cake Database Driver Mysql            persistent    gt  false           host    gt   localhost                          CakePHP will use the default DB port based on the driver selected            MySQL on MAMP uses port 8889  MAMP users will want to uncomment            the following line and set the port accordingly                        port    gt   nonstandard port number            username    gt   test2            password    gt   computer            database    gt   jobs            encoding    gt   utf8            timezone    gt   UTC            cacheMetadata    gt  true                          Set identifier quoting to true if you are using reserved words or            special characters in your table or column names  Enabling this            setting will result in queries built using the Query Builder having            identifiers quoted when creating SQL  It should be noted that this            decreases performance because each query needs to be traversed and            manipulated before being executed                       quoteIdentifiers    gt  false                          During development  if using MySQL  lt  5 6  uncommenting the            following line could boost the speed at which schema metadata is            fetched from the database  It can also be set directly with the            mysql configuration directive  innodb stats on metadata   0             which is the recommended value in production environments                        init    gt    SET GLOBAL innodb stats on metadata   0             I have already created a database table called jobs according to CakePHP conventions  User test2 has global privileges the same as the root administrator   But when I am running the bake all command  I am getting the following error   2015-07-01 06 24 56 Error   PDOException  SQLSTATE HY000   1045  Access denied for user  test2   localhost   using password  YES  Stack Trace  C  Bitnami wampstack-5 4 40-0 apache2 htdocs myjobs vendor cakephp cakephp src Database Driver PDODriverTrait php 48   PDO- gt   construct  mysql host 127        test2    computer   Array  C  Bitnami wampstack-5 4 40-0 apache2 htdocs myjobs vendor cakephp cakephp src Database Driver Mysql php 89   Cake Database Driver Mysql- gt  connect  mysql host 127       Array  C  Bitnami wampstack-5 4 40-0 apache2 htdocs myjobs vendor cakephp cakephp src Database Schema BaseSchema php 46   Cake Database Driver Mysql- gt connect     PROBLEM SOLVED  UPDATE   I followed Ankit and Spencer s directions   I had a couple of problems    Host of my user was not localhost  it was a wildcard    Changed that  then MySQL started refusing connections  I disabled my firewall and found that the port was different from 3306  So I changed the entry in app php  Now my application is baked

I want to add to the answers posted on above that none of the solutions proposed here worked for me. My WAMP, is working on port 3308 instead of 3306 which is what it is installed by default. I found out that when working in a local environment, if you are using mysqladmin in your computer (for testing environment), and if you are working with port other than 3306, you must define your variable DB_SERVER with the value localhost:NumberOfThePort, so it will look like the following: define("DB_SERVER", "localhost:3308"). You can obtain this value by right-clicking on the WAMP icon in your taskbar (on the hidden icons section) and select Tools. You will see the section: "Port used by MySQL: NumberOfThePort"

This will fix your connection to your database.

This was the error I got: Error: SQLSTATE[HY1045] Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' on line X.

I hope this helps you out.

Check Following Things   Make Sure You Have MySQL Server Running Check connection with default credentials i e  username    root   amp  password       Blank Password  Try login phpmyadmin with same credentials Try to put 127 0 0 1 instead localhost or your lan IP would do too  Make sure you are running MySql on 3306 and if you have configured make sure to state it while making a connection

That error message usually means that either the password we are using doesn t match what MySQL thinks the password should be for the user we re connecting as  or a matching MySQL user doesn t exist  hasn t been created    In MySQL  a user is identified by both a username   test2   and a host   localhost     The error message identifies the user   test2   and the host   localhost   values        test2   localhost    We can check to see if the user exists  using this query from a client we can connect from    SELECT user  host FROM mysql user   We re looking for a row that has  test2  for user  and  localhost  for host    user     host         -------  -----------  test2     127 0 0 1  cleanup  test2       1          test2     localhost     If that row doesn t exist  then the host may be set to wildcard value of    to match any other host that isn t a match   If the row exists  then the password may not match  We can change the password  if we re connected as a user with sufficient privileges  e g  root   SET PASSWORD FOR  test2   localhost    PASSWORD  mysecretcleartextpassword     We can also verify that the user has privileges on objects in the database    GRANT SELECT ON jobs   TO  test2   localhost       EDIT  If we make changes to mysql privilege tables with DML operations  INSERT UPDATE DELETE   those changes will not take effect until MySQL re-reads the tables  We can make changes effective by forcing a re-read with a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement  executed by a privileged user
