Postgresql error- could not connect to server: Connection refused

[sanketraut]

Info:

• Docker version ($ docker --version): 1.12.5
• Laradock commit ($ git rev-parse HEAD): 245ddf3
• System info (Mac, PC, Linux): PC
• System info disto/version: Windows 10

Issue:

Whenever I run php artisan migrate inside my workspace, I get an error Could not connect to server. The detailed error is as follows:
[Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException]
SQLSTATE[08006] [7] could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
could not connect to server: Cannot assign requested address
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Expected behavior:

The database connection should be establised and the tables should get created. The success message should be displayed as Migrations ran successfully

---

Reproduce:

• Install laradock on Windows 10 using virtualbox
• Create a shared folder on vbox and mount it to the docker machine from the terminal
  • sudo mkdir mountedfolder
  • sudo mount -t vboxsf sharedfolder /mountedfolder
• Then run docker-compose up -d nginx postgres
• Login to the workspace docker-compose exec workspace
• Run php artisan migrate

---

Relevant Code:

Config sample code is as follows:

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=default
DB_USERNAME=default
DB_PASSWORD=secret

[manjurulcis]

from your sample config code, DB_HOST should be DB_HOST=pgsql or 127.0.0.1

[zuohuadong]

DB_HOST=postgres
Suggested use docker 17.3 or new
