Fresh install of EE v5.2.1 with MySQL 8.0.15 fails
News and General
On running admin.php for the first time. It presents the form then produces the following exception.
Exception Caught No such property: ‘db’ on EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Legacy/Facade ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Legacy/Facade.php:120
Stack Trace: Please include when reporting this error

So I’m at a loss to know how to proceed.
Did you run the server wizard to ensure your environment meets ExpressionEngine’s requirements? You might also look at this guide at using MySQL 8 which does have some backwards incompatibilities with previously versions of MySQL and additional PHP requirements.
Yes this is a fresh install on a windows server 2016 machine.
The website gives a download link and on copying files to server and running admin.php I get a link to the docs.
The ee_wizard step gives the following…
Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: PDO::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password] in C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php:253 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php(253): PDO->__construct(‘mysql:host=empl…’, ‘employeesweb’, ‘passwordwenthere’, Array) #1 C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php(131): check_db(Array) #2 {main} Next PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client in C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php:253 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php(253): PDO->__construct(‘mysql:host=empl…’, ‘employeesweb’, ‘passwordgoeshere’, Array) #1 C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php(131): check_db(Array) #2 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\employees\ee_wizard\index.php on line 253
So no further forward.
Right getting somewhere - turning off the newer authentication in MySQL has at least got the wizard running. Thanks.
