php getaddrinfo failure: “A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup.”

Question

Would really appreciate your help please :) I keep getting an error on my PDO connect, as such: Warning: PDO::__construct(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed

Answer 1

Define a name for your SQL server in the http config file, or try with IP address like 127.0.0.1

And make sure database is running

Answer 2

It's likely that the server that hosts your app doesn't know how to resolve "localhost".

See the hosts file for this.

You can workaround that by replacing "localhost" with "127.0.0.1"
