Ah! Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I removed the port # and it worked!

Maybe PHPBB doesn't use the port #? I will have to investigate further but for now it is working.

Thank you for your help!

Yes because I can connect with PHPBB.

No it do not help unfortunately, it is very strange, the connection to the database should work.
Are you sure the port value isset to the required value?

Yes. Doesn't work

If it helps, I am on
PHP 7.4

it is very strange, still in trouble?

I have this:


$w3all_dbms = 'phpbb\\db\\driver\\mysqli'; // maybe required
$w3all_dbhost = 'localhost';
$w3all_dbport = '3306'; // maybe required
$w3all_dbname = 'xxxxxx';
$w3all_dbuser = 'xxxxxx';
$w3all_dbpasswd = 'xxxxxx';
$w3all_table_prefix = 'phpbb3_';
$w3all_phpbb_adm_relative_path = 'adm/'; // maybe required
$w3all_acm_type = 'phpbb\\cache\\driver\\file'; // maybe required

@define('WP_W3ALL_MANUAL_CONFIG', true);
// NOTE
// you can comment out the following line, and force plugin deactivation
@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

I copied the info from the config.php
