Hi folks! I installed succesfully the shopware with the Mac OS installer. Latest version. I can see my shop, frontend, backend, connect to database with phpMyAdmin, etc. Problem is: When trying to use the console to update/create plugins I receive: “WARNING! Could not connect to database. Message from SQL Server: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘\*\*\*\*\*\*’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES) in /Users/truads/www/bitnami/apps/shopware/htdocs/engine/Shopware/Components/DependencyInjection/Bridge/Db.php” “[Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\RuntimeException]   You have requested a synthetic service (“db\_connection”). The DIC does not know how to construct this service.”   ---

"Access denied for user ‚\*\*\*\*\*\*‘@‚localhost‘ " - looks like there is a problem with your database credentials. ---

It is really strange, the application connects to the database, also I can connect to the database. Only when trying to use the console I got this error. My config.php file has the correct credentials. Does the console get the credentials from somewhere else? ---

We know very little about your environment … a typical problem is that console commands run in a different environment than the webserver, e.g. with regard to .ini-files or even php versions. Good luck! (Or be more verbose about your environment and setup.) Geert ---

Do you connect via socket or 127.0.0.1 to your database? Maybe try using 127.0.0.1 instead of “localhost”? ---

Did you change this in the .env file? Like doing DATABASE\_URL=mysql://127.0.0.1:user@pw:3306/shopware6 instead of DATABASE\_URL=mysql://localhost:user@pw:3306/shopware6 Be cause doing this results in this Error for me: # Could not connect to database. Message from SQL Server: An exception occurred in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‚ **‚@‘** ‘ (using password: YES) But Username and Password are correct.
