Connection to MySQL DB cannot be established
that was one option but I tried this first and it worked: ALTER USER 'root' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password'; (and added the mySQL password instead of password) and then refreshed the privileges with flush privileges; after that, everything ran smoothly.
