django.db.utils.operationalError: (2059,“Authentication Plugin 'caching_sha2_password'”)

Question

I am trying to connect my django project \'mysite\' to mysql. I made a user in mysql and granted it all privileges to access the project. These are the changes I made to set

Answer 1

This error is typically gotten when the DB user don't have all access to the database

Run this command:

ALTER  USER 'username'@'ip_address' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';

*Make sure to have your MySQL server running.
