Clear Cache not working, seeing PDOException

louieakil

Do I have to run the command "php flarum cache:clear" live? When I run this command locally I see a error that says this:
"Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: PDO::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]"

Is there a way for me to just clear the cache locally without having to connect to a live database?

It will always connect to a live database. The error that your getting is because of MySQL8.0 changing the password schema (which actually breaks a ton of PHP Apps. You can take a look at this StackOverflow answer to see how to fix the error.

louieakil It's still the same issue I believe, the stack overflow article should still work.
