Is this a completely fresh server or are you following the upgrade instructions?

Also which distribution are you installing on here?

well, after some investigation I have a small progress .
I am able to login as root to mysql - it works .
But when passbolt-configure starts configure mariadb it returns :

=====================
Setting up mariadb…
=====================
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)
===========================================================
Trying to connect to to mariadb with provided credentials…
===========================================================
================================================================================
Installation is almost complete. Please point your browser to

any ideas why ?

My SSL configuration has been already done - it works well as well.

For your root password here do you have any escape characters in it?

If you are able to connect via the mysql command line command that would be something that could be an issue here

What would be the official guidance for the charset people should use when setting up a Passbolt database?

Hi @Waggle-Irritable ,

You can find this info here: Install Passbolt API from source | Passbolt documentation.
