Question
After Laravel Forge setup, "Permission denied (publickey)"
- Posted on May 21, 2014
Asked by rich671994
Yesterday I created a Digital Ocean account and connected with Laravel Forge. I generated a new droplet via Forge. After it’s created, I try to log in using keys. I keep getting an “Permission denied (publickey)” error. I tried deleting the contents of my known_hosts file. After attempting to connect I got the untrusted server message and opted in. The new key was written to my known_hosts. And then the same error appeared.
Any ideas or tests I can run to see what’s happening?

Rich: <br> <br>I hit this problem as well. Here’s the solution (assuming you’ve already correctly added your public key to the Forge UI)… <br> <br>In the welcome email it says your username is “forge”. So use this on the command line, and replace with your server’s IP: <br> <br>ssh forge@12.34.56.78 <br> <br>Hope that helps.
For those whom tried using the pbcopy on the GitBash command and did not work try: $ clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. It will basically copies your SSH Key to a clipboard, paste it to your Forge Dashboard. Once that is done, try to log in using ssh name@your-ip -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
***Can someone tell me how can I login to my database now? Should I use Digital Ocean at all anymore?
I have same problem . I need help .
