yes mac ox

Kindly try running the lowest Mysql versions which is 5.6.

herbert24 · April 6, 2021, 10:46am

core 2.4.0 and above should be running well on mysql 8

I totally agree with you. Basing on the release notes of platform 2.4.0 openmrs supports MySQL ranging from 5.6 - 8.0. since version 5.6 has been able to solve the same problem in the past that is why I suggested @sunny to run that version.

MySQL version 8.0.23 should work fine.

Just share your server side log via pastebin.com

I’m having the same issue and I hope I can learn from your experience. I’ve finally made it to the OpenMRS Core 2.6.0-0 Installation Wizard using docker and immediately ran into an issue with my Mysql password required for login. So, I reset the root Mysql password and I continue getting the error below: "Unable to create the database. The password might be incorrect or the database is not started."

I’m running mysql Ver 8.0.30 for macos12.5 on arm64 (Homebrew)

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
