Seems like something with your DB?

I'd try the following options:

1. Try php artisan migrate:fresh

2. Check if the port, host matches the server.

3. Check if the user has correct permissions.

These are the options that pop into my head, but i'm not in front of a computer to actually check them.

Ok. I'll have to work out whats wrong with the db!

[dillfrescott]

I absolutely cannot get this app to run. I've tried three or 4 different databases and they all throw a similar error. Even on the docker container someone made and mentioned in the other issue, that I never even modified...

[leventdev]

Have you installed it following the readme? Do you have the right DB extensions installed for php?

[dillfrescott]

I'll have to check the docker container. I'd like to assume so but I guess you never know till you check haha
