No requirment for db password while installion

[Nico Knoll]

Hey,

when I'm installing PW local I use a XAMPP installation where MySQL has no password. So I always have to "hack" the installation progress to use it because db password is "required".

Could someone remove the required="required" stuff for this field?

Greets,

Nico

Hey Nico,

I installed a local copy of latest dev yesterday without a db password. Are you installing stable or dev?

The password requirement has been retired for at least a couple of months now on the dev branch.

I have always secured xampp mysql with a password as a matter of course.  Habit really.

I installed a fresh PW dev version about an hour ago on a Wamp machine. It too had a password requirement. Ended up having to create a user in PhpMyAdmin with a password :/

Open up devtools -> inspect the form -> add novalidate as an attribute. There you go

ProcessWire dev has no DB password requirement, and hasn't for months. Can you post a screenshot or paste in the error that you got? Also adding novalidate as an attribute won't help on the dev installer because the field has no required attribute.
