Question

Hi, 

I need help to solve this issue, I was trying to run sudo webinoly -backup=local, but it was showing error: 

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[ERROR] Your WP site database is still empty!

How can I solve this issue, thanks.

Hi QROkes, it says
 

[INFO] HTTP Authentication Credentials not found!

[ERROR] MySQL Connection to localhost failed! (root)

So, there's the answer!

MySQL root user can not connect with your database, I don't know why, maybe you changed password manually.
