SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Question

I´m working with symfony 2.1.2, FOSuserBundle, SonataAdminBundle, SonataUserBundle and SonataMediaBundle. The problem is that I cannot access to my database and get this error.

This is my parameters.yml

parameters:
    database_driver: pdo_mysql
    database_host: localhost
    database_port: null
    database_name: superlinea
    database_user: root
    database_password: !Admin1234
    mailer_transport: smtp
    mailer_host: localhost
    mailer_user: null
    mailer_password: null
    locale: en
    secret: f4c89326a7c2d2fb848e84dc8b39ea92
    database_path: null

and this is my config.yml [ doctrine section: ]

doctrine:
    dbal:
        default_connection:   default
        connections:
            default:
                driver:   %database_driver%
                host:     %database_host%
                port:     %database_port%
                dbname:   %database_name%
                user:     %database_user%
                password: %database_password%
                charset:  UTF8
    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
        # auto_mapping: true
        # entity_managers:
        #     default:
        #         mappings:
        #             ApplicationSonataMediaBundle: ~
        entity_managers:
            default:
                mappings:
                    ApplicationSonataMediaBundle: ~
                    ApplicationSonataUserBundle: ~
                    SonataUserBundle: ~
                    FOSUserBundle: ~
    dbal:
        types:
            json: Sonata\Doctrine\Types\JsonType

I checked to connect to mysql from my terminal using the credentials on parameters.yml and it connects correctly. I purged the cache and still it isn´t taken the specified password.

Any help?

Answer 1

the problem is within your config.yml, the

dbal:
  types:
    json: Sonata\Doctrine\Types\JsonType

should go inside doctrine dbal. Like this:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        default_connection:   default
        connections:
            default:
                driver:   %database_driver%
                host:     %database_host%
                port:     %database_port%
                dbname:   %database_name%
                user:     %database_user%
                password: %database_password%
                charset:  UTF8
        types:
            json: Sonata\Doctrine\Types\JsonType

Hope it helps

Answer 2

In your app/config/parameters.yml

# This file is auto-generated during the composer install
parameters:
    database_driver: pdo_mysql
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: 3306
    database_name: symfony
    database_user: root
    database_password: "your_password"
    mailer_transport: smtp
    mailer_host: 127.0.0.1
    mailer_user: null
    mailer_password: null
    locale: en
    secret: ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt

database_password should be inside double quoted (") or single quoted (').

I have seen most of users happen this because they are using password with leading zero or numeric (in my situation its like that)

---

And also I have tried with localhost and double quoted passwords, its not working.

So in that case use

database_host: 127.0.0.1

instead of

database_host: localhost

For all who have this problem, just try to clear the cache:

php bin/console cache:clear
