Hi there,
The error message,
trying to connect via (null)
, indicates that the database host might not be defined correctly, are you deploying your Laravel project to the DigitalOcean App Platform? If this is the case, you need to define yourDB_HOST
as follows:For more information on the available database environment variables, you could take a look at the documentation here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/use-environment-variables/#databases
Here is a quick video that shows how to deploy Laravel to the App Platform:

Let me know how it goes!
Best,
