Wordpress install fails at the plugin stage

What app is this about, and its version: Wordpress, v6.9.1
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.39
What type of hardware are you using: Other(?)

Describe your issue

I tried to install Wordpress on a fairly recent YunoHost on a dedicated server. First, I installed it at the root of the main domain, but I tried other options (subdomain, relative path…), none of wich worked. I didn’t activate the multisite option. I restarted the server at some point, and it didn’t solve the problem.

The main app install seems to work, the error is at the plugin installation step, the message being Error establishing a database connection.

I have seen in another topic that this could be caused by a conflict caused by a leftover database, it’s not the case here. I checked with phpMyAdmin, the wordpress database is created during install, and removed when the install fails.

Thanks for any input or pointers.

Is php8.4 still installed and working ?

systemctl status php8.4-fpm

Yes, php 8.4 is up and running. No error message since last reboot.

After reseting my domains to a sane state and rebooting the server, I managed to install Wordpress to sub.domain.tld/blog. I moved it to domain.tld/ and it works as intended.

I have no idea why it didn’t work before and how it worked then.
