Common Issues

• Missing Vendor Directory: Ensure that Composer dependencies are installed by running docker-compose exec app composer install.
• Permissions Issues: Set the correct permissions for the storage and cache directories:

  sudo chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache

• Database Issue: Check Database Configuration in .env File:

  DB_CONNECTION=mysql
  DB_HOST=db
  DB_PORT=3306
  DB_DATABASE=laravel
  DB_USERNAME=laravel
  DB_PASSWORD=laravel
  

  Create MySQL User with Correct Privileges:

  docker-compose exec db mysql -u root -p
  then:
  	CREATE USER 'laravel'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'laravel';
  	GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'laravel'@'%';
  	FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  then:
  	docker-compose down
  	docker-compose up -d --build
