How to set up a database in Laravel when uploading to a hosting?

Question

Laravel

Hello!
Wrote a website in laravel. Transferred to hosting, changed DB settings in .env and config/database.php. But it throws a query exception SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (SQL: select * from `articles` order by `id` desc). What to do?

Answer 1

What host do you have in your .env file?
This error says that the site cannot connect to the database (connection reset)
