MySQL connection fails

[devosm]

Have tried multiple times to use this installer (each time rolling back to a snapshot before running the installer, as well as a complete reinstall of the VM)

Yet I keep running into this error

 [ERROR] Unable to connect to the MySQL server using the provided credentials. The    
         error returned was "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] Server sent charset (0) unknown to
         the client. Please, report to the developers".                               

 [ERROR] Your connection credentials have NOT been saved. You will need to provide    
         valid connection information before proceeding.   

Any idea what's causing this?

This is what is shown right before the error hits

 // By default a Redis server instance has no password as it is running locally and

 ! [NOTE] It is highly recommended to not use "localhost" as your database host as we 
 !        have seen frequent socket connection issues. If you want to use a local

 ! [NOTE] Using the "root" account for MySQL connections is not only highly frowned   
 !        upon, it is also not allowed by this application. You'll need to have       
 !        created a MySQL user for this software.

Hi, MariaDB had an update that removed certain types of usage from the mysql command. I'm aware of this issue and will fix our installer as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience, this issue is now fixed.
