Hi!
The problem was that database user password can not contain special characters like “{“. Since most of us are using Cpanel on production websites, the Cpanel is forcing us to use special characters when creating passwords.
I managed to change the special characters to “-” and connect to the database. The password can contain small letters, caps and numbers, so it is strong enough.
