Why does the database connection fail?

Question

linux

I'm trying to connect to the database through root, the database user, in all cases I get an error:

mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'apache'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Through phpmyadmin everything is OK, what could be the problem?

Answer 1

The error says that you are logging in as an apache user and without a password.
This most likely happens because you do not pass the details at all (login-password)

Answer 2

If it's a console then add "-p" at the end of the command like this:
or -p (password concatenated)

mysql -uapache -pPassword
