Hi, I am trying to install the limesurvey 4.2.3 on a LAMP server with Ubunto 18.04, but always give the some error with the database. I already try to create a DB but it always says that there is no database and when try to create one give this error:

Please fix the following input errors:
Try again! Connection with database failed.
Reason: CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection.
Try again! Creation of database failed.
Could not create database: CREATE DATABASE `limesurvey` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE
utf8mb4_unicode_ci. Please check your credentials.

Can someone teel me what to do?

Thanks

My guess is that the database location is incorrect.

Or that there is no driver for MySQL installed in PHP.

E.g. www.php.net/manual/de/ref.pdo-mysql.php
