I am currently running MySQL Ver 8.0.27. And I made a mistake, the droplet is now running 20.04 instead of the previously mentioned 18.04.

If it is not properly installed, I don’t understand why the initial connection worked (“Need to upgrade database”) but not any subsequent ones. Furthermore, the main webpage loads just fine.

I’m not sure if its relevant, but I migrated the site from an Ubuntu 14.04 to an 20.04 Droplet. Would there be some hidden incompatible features between the MySQL versions that would manifest in an exported .sql file?

I realized I might have misunderstood you. The wordpress instance is running off an internet facing Ubuntu 18.04 Droplet with a FQDN. It is not exactly a localhost install.

If it is somehow relevant, it also has SSL through LetEencrypt.

Okay thanks!

Yes, this is a local install of a WordPress instance on an Ubuntu 18.04 Droplet.

Thank you very much for the suggestion! Unfortunately, after downloading and replacing the files, it goes through the same screens again (Update Database > Error No such file or directory).

Could there be some other reason behind this?
