"resourcespace.plugins does not exist" / mysql username entered 1 character at a time

[Steven Swart]

Still trying to do the initial setup on a cloud server LAMP box.

When I submit the first admin setup screen, I get a blank page that hangs and the error log shows:

messages related to "resourcespace.plugins does not exist"

The query log shows a series of attempts to log in:

I'm having the same issue with a fresh install on an M1 mac. Install version is 9.8, and I even tried simply creating the table. I still get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Table 'resourcespace.plugins' doesn't exist in /Users/***/Sites/resourcespace/include/database_functions.php:482 Stack trace: #0 /Users/***/Sites/resourcespace/include/database_functions.php(482): mysqli->prepare('SELECT inst_ver...') #1 /Users/***/Sites/resourcespace/include/database_functions.php(1023): ps_query('SELECT inst_ver...', Array, 'plugins', -1, true, 0, true, false) #2 /Users/***/Sites/resourcespace/include/db.php(229): ps_value('SELECT inst_ver...', Array, '', 'plugins') #3 /Users

Not sure how to fix this...
