Please I need support in configuring the database for liferay installation.
I am using mySQL database with the default user name as "root" and an empty password
with every other field automatically filled out, its still reporting error that I should check my database setting.

Please I nee a more detailed step by step way of configuring the database aside from the one provided in liferay documentation.

Thank you.

The offiicial documentation is here: https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.2/user-guide/-/ai/installation-and-setup-liferay-portal-6-2-user-guide-15-en

Can you show us the error you see in the log/console, or attach the log file. If you do attach a log file, please clear it out before you try starting up Liferay again, so you give the latest info.

Please how do I access the ''error/console" to get the error message or is it the same as the error message that appeared on my screen when I tried the configuration which is

Database connection could not be established. Please check your connection settings.

Thanks
