Unable to start fresh wiki.js install on my virtual server – CentOS

I am trying to install the latest wiki.js version 2.5.170 on my standalone virtual machine running Centos 7

https://docs.requarks.io/install/linux

Nodejs is also the latest.

[root@server101 wiki]# node -v
v14.0.0

DB block in the config.yml file:

db:
  type: mariadb    
  # PostgreSQL / MySQL / MariaDB / MS SQL Server only:
  host: localhost
  port: 3306
  user: myuser_wiki
  pass: xxxxxx
  db: myuser_wiki
  ssl: false

  # Optional - PostgreSQL / MySQL / MariaDB only:
  # -> Uncomment lines you need below and set `auto` to false
  # -> Full list of accepted options: https://nodejs.org/api/tls.html#tls_tls_createsecurecontext_options
  sslOptions:
    auto: true
    # rejectUnauthorized: false
    # ca: path/to/ca.crt
    # cert: path/to/cert.crt
    # key: path/to/key.pem
    # pfx: path/to/cert.pfx
    # passphrase: xyz123

  # SQLite only:
  # storage: path/to/database.sqlite

When starting it up:

[root@server101 wiki]# node server

I checked connecting to the DB(using the same info given on config.yml) through CLI and it connects fine.

What am I missing here?.

    I was having the same error and found the problem is related to user definition in config.yml:

    db:
  # Don't use underscore here. It'll cause connection error undefined.
  # Try myuserwiki or any other one without underscore.
  user: myuserwiki
