I have been referring to the following to procedures and whenever i check if my apache2 is functioning it shows an error:

WORDPRESS: http://computerbeginnersguides.com/blog/2016/05/12/install-and-configure-wordpress-on-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus/

LAMP: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04

When i check if apache2 has been installed properly by going to "127.0.0.1" , it shows " Error establishing a database connection"

And later while configuring wordpress in mysql: mysql> CREATE USER wordpressuser; ERROR 1819 (HY000): Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements

After trying Deepak's way I get the same error when I continue the process: enter image description here

  • Try a different password when creating the database? Make it stronger with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, etc.

Please view this. Database Connection Error/Wordpress

Hey if your problem is now with the password.You first have to check your current password policy.If it is set to high(default) set a password with minimum 8 characters,1 capital,1 small letter and at least 1 digit.Other two policies are medium and low but generally it is set to high.

Hope it will help.

Try this, If you remember the user created for your Wordpress.Remove the previous one and create a new user as wordpressuser.Follow the following commands.

> mysql> ALTER USER 'wordpressuser'@'localhost'
>     -> IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password
>     -> AS '*HIGHPOLICYPASSWORD123';

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

and try further steps. Hope it helps.If not please provide me the Screen shot of the terminal.
