(SOLVED) Installing local Server on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS PB

Hi, @Ludo

For sanity check purposes, can you please run the following command on your Mattermost terminal and provide the full output with any sensitive information such as password redacted?

cat /opt/mattermost/config/config.json | grep -A11 "SqlSettings"

Just want to make sure that we don’t miss out on any details. For example, this is how it looks like on my end:

ahmaddanial@mattermost:~$ cat /opt/mattermost/config/config.json | grep -A11 "SqlSettings"
    "SqlSettings": {
        "DriverName": "mysql",
        "DataSource": "xxxxx:xxxxx@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/mattermost?charset=utf8mb4,utf8\u0026readTimeout=30s\u0026writeTimeout=30s",
        "DataSourceReplicas": [],
        "DataSourceSearchReplicas": [],
        "MaxIdleConns": 20,
        "ConnMaxLifetimeMilliseconds": 3600000,
        "MaxOpenConns": 300,
        "Trace": false,
        "AtRestEncryptKey": "xxxxx",
        "QueryTimeout": 30
    },

Also, may I know the behavior if you change localhost to the IP address 127.0.0.1 which is similar to mine? Are you still getting the same error too?
