DDEV Prestashop database connection

Question

I want to install a Prestashop with DDEV, but I can't connect to database.

I tried 127.0.0.1:32775 and localhost:32775, with "db" as user/db/password But I get this error:

Database Server is not found. Please verify the login, password and server fields (DbPDO)

Database is up and running, connection via commandline is working:

mysql --host=127.0.0.1 --port=32775 --user=db --password=db --database=db

Project information:

• PrestaShop 1.7.6.2 Installer (I first tried github/composer installation - error, then zip download with wizard - same error)
• ddev version v1.11.2
• DDEV project type: php
• Host: MacOS 10.15.1

ddev describe will show you the db connection information.

Host: db User: db Password: db Database: db

Mostly people forget the hostname configuration.
