Fresh Install --> no install.php

Help
1

Following this install build:

Upon the step to go to the “web installer” http://abcdefghijk.com/install I am presented with the " Whoops, looks like something went wrong. Check your librenms.log" Of which I have and the log shows:

[2022-05-14T18:24:09.802700+00:00] production.ERROR: PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1698] Access denied for user ‘librenms’@‘localhost’ in /opt/librenms/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOConnection.php:40

(I am assuming the lack of a install.php file at the aforementioned web link is resulting in a general error page, and I’m figuring of course there is a db access problem as I have yet been giving an opportunity to enter the pertinent db address, user, pass, or db name yet…

Have I missed something obvious or should there not be an install.php file in the /opt/librenms/html directory?

-Im using Firefox browser v100.0 64bit on Win10 64bit PC

OS of the librenms install: Debian 11 Bullseye (freshly updated)

I see the .env and if I populate the DB data, sure enough it connects to the database. But of course the DB is empty and has no structure so no gain…

Same issue. Same validate.php result. Not connecting to MySQL. Logs say no password for user librenms. So I check the environment variables and get the result below.

librenms@LibreNMS:~$ cat .env
APP_KEY=base64:GvMxyrXJRcj5jCiCPYOlTfYlvuByrL21UXOTMQtBD1c=

#DB_HOST=
#DB_DATABASE=
#DB_USERNAME=
#DB_PASSWORD=

#APP_URL=
INSTALL=true

VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY=Qj5vP8AVoub7WQOIUQ1x5emoXUhYgDRZKAtB0sswPUU
librenms@LibreNMS:~$

I followed the install instructions. What is the issue here? Thank you.
