What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having?
I changed my dbhost from “localhost” to “127.0.0.1”. I also changed the permissions inside MariaDB, I tested the local login via mysql -h127.0.0.1 -ughost-262 -p and the password provided in the config file.
I also tried to configure ghost via ghost config set dbhost 127.0.0.1
I also cleared cache via ghost buster. And yes, ghost was restarted.
It looks like that ghost saved the old dbhost somewhere or cache it.
