Hi,

In your   sever   you  should  create   a  database  with  a username  and  password.

During  the installation  you need to enter   :

• the  database name
• username   
• password

 

This is a Prestashop 1.7.8.x bug. Unfortunately still not resolved in more than two years.
It forces me to still use Prestashop 1.7.7.8 for installing new webshops.

It is highly annoying since you cannot fix existing errors.
Hope development is reading this. I know they are aware of the problem since I have already read it is an issue with Symphony framework.
