Sometimes you need to include mysql db port id in the server like so    serverName    127 0 0 1 3307

In case anyone else comes by this issue  the default port on MAMP for mysql is 8889  but the port that php expects to use for mysql is 3306  So you need to open MAMP  go to preferences  and change the MAMP mysql port to 3306  then restart the mysql server  Now the connection should be successful with host localhost  user root  pass root

In my case I was using XAMPP  and there was a log that told me the error  To find it  go to the XAMPP control panel  and click  Configure  for MySQL  then click on  Open Log    The most current data of the log is at the bottom  and the log is organized by date  time  some number  and text in brackets that may say  Note  or  Error   One that says  Error  is likely causing the issue   For me  my error was a tablespace that was causing an issue  so I deleted the database files at the given location   Note  The tablespace files for your installation of XAMPP may be at a different location  but they were in  opt lampp var mysql for me  I think that s typical of XAMPP on Debian-based distributions  Also  my instructions on what to click in the control panel to see the log may be a bit different for you because I m running XAMPP on an Ubuntu-based distribution of Linux  Feren OS
