Authentication Error Launching server

[Atomfist]

Hello

While following the video guide I hit a snag while trying to run the server bat.

I triple checked char_conf.txt and map_conf.txt files to make sure info matched what was in MYSQL database and it is all the same.

Do I need to use an older version of MYSQL? 

I am currently on 8.0

Please let me know if you need more info.

Thank you.

I suggest using xampp for sql

Thank you for the feedback.

After looking at how the user was created in MySQL I found that the authentication type in 8.0 defaults to caching_sha2_password.

With that being said I recreated the user with standard authentication and it worked.
