Hello, I’m trying installing wordpress using this guide : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lamp-on-ubuntu-16-04
I did all the steps right, then , when I moved to "Create a MySQL Database ", and using this command : " $ mysql -u root -p "
I got this message : "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
why is that ? Best Regards
