As I was following this tutorial,
Everything is perfectly done except the database connection. During deploy, at migrate stage, it seems the env credentials provided is not able to establish a connection with the server itself.
- Laravel 8
- MySQL 8
- PHP 7.4
- Ubuntu 20 These are the specs

Hi @risingsoul1991,
Can you try using the following command to see if you would be able to connect to the database :
mysql -u laravel_db_user -p laravel_db -h localhost
You’ll need to change laravel_db_user and laravel_db with the actual information of course.
If it doesn’t work, most probably your password is not correct. To change it, you can use the following
mysql
ALTER USER 'laravel_db_user '@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'New-Password-Here';
