Hi there,
If you are using the DigitalOcean App Platform along with a Dev Database, keep in mind that the Dev Database is PostgreSQL and not MySQL.
What you would need to do is either to create a separate MySQL Managed Database Cluster or specify in your environment variables that the DB_CONNECTION as pgsql.
Here is a good video demo on how to deploy a Laravel App to the DigitalOcean App Platform:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
Hi @emegwalio,
This indeed looks like Postgresql is being used as Database instead of MySql.
You have two options the way I see it. The first one is in your config/database.php file, edit the
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'pgsql')
Notice the pgsql at the end.
Or the second option is to set the DB_CONNECTION in .env as pgsql just as already mentioned.
