    I input my user name and password on the initial sign in page.  It took me back to the sign in page again.  I killed the site and did another fresh install with a 2nd download of the v5.3.2 zip file in case the first one was corrupted upon download.  The same thing happened again.  I looked on cPanel and the above error log showed up on the html files and folders.  I had previously done an install of v5.3.1 a week ago and had no problems so I think it's an issue with the install zip file, not the server.  Please check the file.  Thanks.

    The error shows that it cannot connect to your database. Check the database user, password and database name.

    BTW, we always test the builds before and after they are put in the downloads. However, I just tested again and no issue seen. Your error is from your database connection and shows for localhost. Perhaps double check your database details for localhost or, if you moved the files to a server, you need to set the correct database details in your db setting file.

    Hi, Donna.  I reinstalled v5.3.2 again and this time the connection went okay with the database.  I was able to login as the admin and it took me directly to the admin page.  Evidently the "glitch" resolved itself without my having to contact the hosting company.  Thank you for your astute assistance.  Have a good day!  Ken

    BTW:  When I sign in under HTTPS it connects.  If I try to sign in under HTTP it does not connect.  Interesting.  I used to install stuff under HTTP so as not to get token errors, but evidently MySQL does not like that anymore.  Oh well, no biggie, that's life, eh?

    Browsers these days are blocking non https so you'll want to only use https for your site. It is how they are forcing security now. Some will let you in a non https site but you have to know the secret unsafe words to use.

    Didn't occur to me about the browser.  I use Chrome so that figures.  I previously had only used HTTP for installation, then HTTPS for all regular usage.  Install under HTTPS, including 3rd party plugins went smoothly.  Thanks for the tip.
