I used the install script found at https://fusionauth.io/download/ on a HyperV vm with 2gb of ram allocated.
The mysql server's version is Server version: 5.7.32-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 - (Ubuntu) on a separate host.
I'll reinstall the vm and try with mysql8 and the zip files.

I'm using the deb package. Fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install

I just tested this on a fresh virtual machine that has full internet access and this exact same error is occurring.
Tables were created successfully but fusionauth cannot access the db.
