Error Deploying to Forge (Database connection denied)

I'm trying to deploy a site to Forge but I'm having a few problems.

If I check the deployment log on the server I see an error

exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' in /home/forge/dev.grahams.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/Connector.php:47

The strange thing is the DB_HOST is set as an Environment variable to 127.0.0.1

When I check "Edit nginx configuration" there's no sign of any of the ENV variables I set via forge. It's as if forge is completely ignoring the environment variables.

Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks

So you set the env vars inside Forge?

Thanks for the reply bashy.

I had set the env vars inside Forge but that didn't appear to stop me pasting them in wrong. Unsurprisingly, when I put the correct values in, it worked :-)
