Problem with initial setup : Looks like DB issue but too less info

[jinulee-v]

Thank you for this great repository with such a kind installation guide.
However, I am facing some serious issues...

I have installed webtool as mentioned in README without any notable error messages. However, as I accessed to the web page, I get:

(pressing Home does nothing.)

The error message seems to blame the DB settings, but there aren't any more information provided within the error page. I assume that there are no log files generated either.

In detail:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.0.4
• MySQL version 8.0.33
• Have set apps/webtool/conf/conf.php with appropriate host/user/password. The user has full privilege on the database webtool_db.
  
• lower_case_table_names is set to 1.

i managed to fix the database connection, the db needs to be in the same network of the dockercompose containers.

you can do this manually or by extending the docker compose.

I'm glad you have fixed the database connection, but actually it shouldn't be an issue...we are using different servers for the app and the database at FNBr.
Maybe, the issue is about MariaDb/MySQL conf where it must be allowed external connections.
