What issue or error are you experiencing?
Instead of the website, I get the error message “Error establishing a database connection”. Sometime also “Error reconnecting to the database”.
Connecting to AdminerEvo does not work either, message: “Connection refused”
Other websites work.
When I want to change things in the settings, such as the PHP version, the site domain or the server, I get the following two error dialogs:
Title: "Uh-oh! Unable to start site."
Error: Command failed: /Users/jh/Library/Application Support/Local/lightning-services/mysql-8.0.16+6/bin/darwin/bin/mysqladmin ping
amysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/Users/jh/Library/Application Support/Local/run/VoDR7Uh9C/mysql/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/Users/jh/Library/Application Support/Local/run/VoDR7Uh9C/mysql/mysqld.sock' exists!

and after that this dialog:

I have also tried to import a SQL-backup of the live website via the Duplicator plugin and the usual database values, but again the connection is refused, message:
Unable to connect the user **[root]** to the host **[localhost]** .
The server error response was: *Connection refused* '
What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc
Unfortunately, I can’t say what exactly led to this behavior.
However, I set up a new MacBook and used Local for the first time here.
But then why do many other websites work with Local?

It seems like something is damaged in this project, doesn’t it?
If there is no solution, what would be a recommended Word workaround? The database is basically still available through the live website, as are all the files.
Thanks for any hint!

EDIT: I tried to export the project, but unfortunately the app got stuck (waited about 2 hours)
