Having trouble deploying Laravel 5 to DigitalOcean

The database has been created perfectly and I don't see any other issues.

What's the error message from Laravel Forge? You can show the latest deployment log.

Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '123.30.123.123' to the list of known hosts.

From github.com:<github/project>

• branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date. Loading composer repositories with package information Installing dependencies from lock file Nothing to install or update Generating autoload files Generating optimized class loader Compiling common classes

[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

That's because you have to update your database configuration to match the right credentials.

It's something like:

username: forge
database: forge
hostname: localhost

you'll receive an mail with the password

where do I access the database configuration? sorry...

Hi @rpombo,

You may have to set up your environment variables on Forge too. You can see them in your .env file in your project.

Edit: They can be found under Sites and then your environment tab. Check out these videos from Jeffrey: https://laracasts.com/series/server-management-with-forge/episodes/4

This is a brand new Laravel 5.1 installation without any modifications yet

The file is located config/database.php

Thank you, that worked. I feel like such a noob. I have been working with LAMP for years and getting lazy. Now that I am trying to educate myself, I am realizing how lost I really am.... ugh....

@desloc do you know how you would do this on digital ocean without forge? .env is gitignored Can't seem to find any tutorials to deploy from github with a simple pull / clone.

You should SSH into your server and create manually the .env file.

What @RomainLanz said :)
