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?

Hi Rich, <br> <br>Did you configure an SSH key in Laravel Forge? <br> <br>http://mattstauffer.co/blog/getting-your-first-site-up-and-running-in-laravel-forge#ssh-key
To Alex: been there, done that, moved on to Laravel Homestead and Forge on Vagrant, because it’s nifty. Thanks anyway. <br> <br>To Andrew… I actually did follow the mattstauffer.co instructions… and have cycled and recycled through various things I found on stackoverflow et al. Now it’s in DO Support’s court. <br> <br>FYI, in case anyone else has problems, the deployment from Forge seems to disable password access, so the keys are necessary, and so server-side fiddling isn’t possible. I must admit I’m no expert at this keygen stuff, but followed instructions to the letter, pretty sure. <br> <br>Thanks… I’ll try to get back here with the resolution.
