MySQL Connection Issues Using Tutor for Open edX

[Med_amine_Boujelbene]

**Description of the Problem:

I encountered several difficulties using Tutor to deploy Open edX on Kubernetes. The specific issues are as follows:

• Unable to connect MySQL with the CMS and LMS containers.
• MySQL connection errors for openedx and root users.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Initialized Tutor with tutor local quickstart (succeeded without errors).
2. Deployed Open edX on Kubernetes with tutor k8s start.
3. While executing tutor k8s init, I received the following error:
   Error: Job mysql-job-20240806152831 failed. View the job logs to debug this issue.
4. Attempted to connect to MySQL from the CMS and LMS containers as well as SQL:
   kubectl exec -it -n openedx pod/mysql-5db88664b4-blztv – bash
   mysql -u openedx --port 33060 -p
5. The response was:
   ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘openedx’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
   Note: The password used was the one specified in the environment variables via tutor config printroot /env
   6.The connection attempt always results in the following error:
   ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘openedx’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
   Attempted to connect as root:
   mysql -u root -p
   **The specified password does not work either.
