Hi, is your database accessible through a external tool? Or through other services on railway?

Hi - can you also confirm that your MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and MYSQLPASSWORD match on your MySQL service?

If you change one and not the other, you would get exactly the error you see, as MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD is what is used to create the root password when the database is deployed and MYSQLPASSWORD is what is being used to access the database.

Welcome!
