Hi I was able to get to http://localhost/moodle/install.php and when i move further in the screens provided. I have a Database connection settings window and i enter all the details properly and also created databae in mysql but iam getting the error.

Using : improved mysql (native mysqli)


Error: Database connection failed

It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.

The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php

Warning: mysqli::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password] in C:\Apache24\htdocs\moodle\lib\dml\mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 79
