Error connecting to the database

Hi,

Did you create the database user first?
Your application installer can only use an existing database user. It will not create a database user by itself.

To where you installed your xampp, go to `xampp\mysql\data` and look for this file `aria_log.XXXXXXXX` and delete it, then go to your xampp and start your MySQL, the file will be recreated again and MySQL will run with no problem.
I tried that solution and it worked for me with WordPress, Drupal, Joomla installations and managments.

Hello, first of all, I'm new on this so I don't know what's going on and why is it failing.

You applied "sergio" as Username - Xampp does NOT come with a "sergio" database user. Did you properly create that user in MySQL?
