Just installed Tiny Tiny RSS. Accessing http://localhost/tt-rss from the browser brings me the following error:

Unable to connect to database (as tt-rss to , database ttrss): Access denied for user 'tt-rss'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

How can I solve the problem?

I got this error after installing tt-rss with all the default settings (connecting to the database using unix socket, with "ident" identification). I was able to fix it by doing the following:

  1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tt-rss
  2. During the ncurses install process I selected tcp-ip as the connection method rather than socket and specified "localhost" as the server name.
  3. Then I told the installer to use password authentication rather than ident

...and it worked! I am now able to reach the tt-rss web interface.

I looked really closely to the installer output of one of my installation attempts to use ident and saw an error that it is unable to create a local user account, so that's probably why the default options didn't work...

HTH!
