Mysql error while installing RTB

[punitdarji]

Hey guys I am using ubuntu 20.4 version and Mysql Server version: 8.0.26-0ubuntu0
While installing RTB in new machine it is showing an error.

I have tried with database connection string, it is working fine.

I have tried with older version the same error is coming. please help me out

I'm surprised to see the 5500@ specified as part of the "server host". Is 5500 the username? Your config should look something like this:

# [ Database ]
sql_dialect = "mysql"
sql_database = "rootthebox"
sql_host = "127.0.0.1"
sql_port = 3306
sql_user = "rtb"
sql_sslca = ""
sql_password = "rtb"
log_sql = False

Digits are related to my password. I am also surprised why it is taking password rather than username.
Connection string should be username@127.0.0.1 but here it is taking password part.

I think we identified the issue as being an @ symbol used in the mysql password, which the Python MySQL or SQL Alchemy is parsing as a delimiter. Will follow up with some code that warns a user if this is detected.
