0 - Could not connect to MySQL server.

Hi,

I created a website 3 years ago with Joomla! 3 and Fabrik. The site was not used but I updated it when necessary.
It works without error (PHP 8.1, MariaDB 10.3) and I want to test it on my local server Wampserver 64. I made a backup with Akeeba, restored it on Wampserver: no error (PHP 8.0 MariaDB 10.4).
But as soon I try to open a frontend Fabrik page, I get that error on "\libraries\joomla\database\driver\mysqli.php:173". I tried with pther versions of PHP and MariaDB without changes.
In the backend I have no error with Fabrik.

Who have an idea of the reason of this problem?
Thanks!

Did you open and resave the Fabrik connection? (After a site copy the Fabrik connection will still point to the original database).

Thanks troester! I didn't remember that.
It's OK now.
