Heya,
The PHP version shouldn’t be related to the error you are getting. Have you allowed the IP address on your Managed Database in order connect to it?

Hello, @energyfoods
You can double check the database credentials. Inspect if there are any typos or blank-spaces in the password characters.
Also as mentioned PHP 5.6 is outdated, so you can look into uplifting the version to keep things updated.
