    how did you create the mysql database name, mysql database user and password ? does the mysql user password contain some non-alphanumeric characters ? tried testing connecting to mysql using that user/pass on ssh command line first ?
    Code (Text):
    mysql -u username -p

    when prompted enter the username's passwprd

    WHMCS uses a MySQL database to store all settings and data. The database user should be given adequate privileges to this WHMCS database to perform various operations.

    WHMCS database error ‘Could not connect to database server’ normally occurs due wrong username and password combination or because of inadequate privileges.

    The database credentials – username, password and name – can be obtained from the config file at ‘configuration.php’. To resolve the error, we obtained the username and password and verified the permissions.
