  I'm trying out the recommended Hyperlane hosting with Craft CMS. After installing on Hyperlane, I then clone the repo on to my local machine and run 'composer install'. That runs fine, and I create a .env file with my db connection details in it.
  
  What happens next is I go to install on my machine by viewing the admin panel but I get the following:
  
  ```
  Database Connection Error – craft\errors\DbConnectException

  If I add the database details to config/db.php myself, it works fine. It just seems to be a problem with fetching them from .env.
  
  I'm using WAMP on Windows and have numerous Craft 3 projects already running. This same project is fine if I install locally from scratch. It's just when I start by cloning from Hyperlane.
  
  Any ideas?

  Solved. The config/db.php cloned from Hyperlane refers to different env variable names than those used within my .env file. Changing the names in config/db.php solved the issue.
  
  Before:
  
  ```
  return [
      'driver' => getenv('DB_DRIVER'),
      'server' => getenv('DB_HOST'),
      'user' => getenv('DB_USER'),
      'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
      'database' => getenv('DB_NAME'),
      'schema' => getenv('DB_SCHEMA'),
      'tablePrefix' => getenv('DB_TABLE_PREFIX'),
      'port' => getenv('DB_PORT')
  ];
  
  ```
  
  After:
  
  ```
  return [
      'driver' => getenv('DB_DRIVER'),
      'server' => getenv('DB_SERVER'), // changed
      'user' => getenv('DB_USER'),
      'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
      'database' => getenv('DB_DATABASE'), // changed
      'schema' => getenv('DB_SCHEMA'),
      'tablePrefix' => getenv('DB_TABLE_PREFIX'),
      'port' => getenv('DB_PORT')
  ];
  
  ```
