Hi @Wagd,

It looks like you didn’t fill in the database username field in the installation form.

Hi @Wagd,

In that screenshot, it looks like the password field is empty. Make sure you’re filling out all the database-related fields, and that you’ve granted permission e.g. using phpMyAdmin or by executing a GRANT ALL statement in the database.
