Odd MySQL Error.

[g2ktcf]

I have XAMPP running 1.5.8a on PHP 8.2....

Odd thing happened with MariaDB. I got an "expected error" that seemed to be a well documented problem - see attached image. I followed the instructions to use the backup data to get around this and keep MySQL running. BUT, I lost all my users (found when ZC showed a problem connecting to the database). I recreated the user and it still did not work and nothing seem to indicate why.

So, I renamed my install folder back to zc_install and got back into the "Clean Install" process. This allowed me to find out that I mistyped the user name! So, I canceled that install and corrected the issue with the database user name. Now I am getting "WARNING: An Error occurred, please let us know!" I have access to the database and the only thing I really MUST save are my config settings for Bootstrap which I have exported to a CSV file just in case.

I can only guess that when I started the clean install process, I messed something up. Any thoughts? I have lots of tweaks that I do not want to lose.

Thanks
