Answer 3

If you change your mysql port, so you need to check mysql port on php.ini

mysqli.default_port = <your_port_goes_here>

Default port is 3306. So if you change your port, you need to change your port on php.ini and restart all services. In some case, this small mistake produce error #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server.
