After trying a few different things and a re-install of Homebrew as well as MariaDB, I’m in a spot now where I get an access denied error (see below) when I try and login through iTerm/Terminal with mysql -uroot however using sudo mysql -uroot I can get in. I can run commands to create database after I login with the sudo prefix, however those DBs aren’t accessible via any of my projects through usr/pwd validation through the .env file for Laravel and wp-config.php for Wordpress.
This leads me to believe its a permissions error and I need to somehow adjust the MariaDB/MySQL package so that my OS X user has permission to read/write/execute opposed to just root.
Just wanted to post an update, hopefully circling in on resolution…
Brian's note made me try my local username (output of `whoami`) and sure enough that's what logged me it as opposed to what the docs say here: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-mariadb-on-macos-using-homebrew/
But then what of root permissions for this install path?
