+    </p>
+    <p>since Mysql version 8.0 the default values has been changed from mysql_native_password to caching_sha2_password</p>
+    <p>this needs to be reverted in the cnf file</p>
+    <p>
+      <br/>
+    </p>
+    <p>for my installation /etc/mysql/my.cnf is a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/my.cnf which is a symbolic link to /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf</p>
+    <p>so we need to edit the file /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf</p>
+    <p>add the following at the end of the file</p>
+    <blockquote>
+      <p>[mysqld]</p>
+      <p>default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password</p>
+    </blockquote>
+    <p>the group [mysqld] is for the server, for the client the group is [mysql]</p>
