Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' while Creating Admin Account in Wizard

[Ziflin]

Actual behavior

I'm trying to setup a new install of October on Ubuntu 16.04 using mysql (tried MariaDB also) and during the final install using the wizard when it is doing the "Create admin account" I get the following error:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = database and table_name = migrations)

I'm guessing it's something I have configured wrong, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

@Samuell1 We flip-flopped on this decision already

127.0.0.1 causes network performance issues

@daftspunk but that was 2 years ago, maybe now something changed?

@Samuell1 If anything the problem has become worse as it was most likely related to IPv6

Either way, a connection is made (access denied), I'm not sure the solution is the right one anyway. I think in this instance, the user has modified the file, which busted the op cache and reloaded the values
