Then I got following

Answer 1

Just ran into this same issue and the problem is the password. In the tutorial the author lists the password as:

"d]682\#%yl1nb3"

So as per the suggestion given by @Marki555, I looked in the config file - api_config.php. and the password listed there is:

"d]682\#%yI1nb3"

The upper case 'I' is what caused the issue because the password you set for user on the db has the password with the lowercase l but it really is looking for the uppercase I. After I changed the pushchat user's password to have an uppercase i, it worked!
