Hello,

I am sorry for late reply.

Please check the latest log file in the `storage/logs/` folder and let me know the error details so that I can suggest.

It could be due to duplication in the APP_KYE as that mostly caused issue after installation but the error logs will have the details.

Thank you

Hello,

As you can see the error `Access denied for user ‘ilpstrat_flead’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)`

Please double check the `.env` file for DB_ settings and wrap the DB_PASSWORD in quotes like `DB_PASSWORD="youeDbPw"`

Thank you
