Problems with starting my own OT from FTS

[Hanibal blood]

Hello,
I am new here.
I want to start my own ots thus started with GitHub - otland/forgottenserver: A free and open-source MMORPG server emulator written in C++ (https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver?tab=readme-ov-file). Im on Mac. I did configure config.lua etc, tried chatgpt help but got me stuck there:

./build/RelWithDebInfo/tfs
The Forgotten Server - Version 1.7
Compiled with Clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
Compiled on Aug 5 2024 23:39:35 for platform unknown
Linked with Lua 5.4.6 for Lua support

MySQL Error Message: Access denied for user 'forgottenserver'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

ERROR: Failed to connect to database.
> No services running. The server is NOT online.

Is there anyone that can help me somehow?

install xampp for mac on you machine and create database, import schema

1. Install brew: Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
2. Install mysql with brew: mysql (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql#default)

It clearly says the username and/or password is wrong.

So he already has mysql installed, otherwise it would display other message.

My thoughts:
Rename the .env.example to just ".env". The dot is important.

Then set inside following options:

MYSQL_USER=root
MYSQL_PASSWORD=

The default mysql password for root user on Mac OS is empty, so it should work. Just leave it empty.
