Initially I had set up the server and deployed without encrypting the vault.yml. Once everything was working fine I changed the passwords in vault.yml and encrypted the file. But my deployment fails now. And I get the following error-

```
Error: Error establishing a database connection. This either means that 
the username and password information in your `wp-config.php` file is 
incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at `localhost`. This 
could mean your host’s database server is down.
```

Cant I change the passwords after server is deployed? Where am I going wrong here?

Did you reprovision the server first?

Hi Ben, Yes I tried to reprovision the server by running

`ansible-playbook server.yml -e env=staging`

But here also it gives following error

Hi! I got it solved. I have changed the sudo user password too in my vault. so ssh into server and changing sudo password to the password mentioned in vault and then provisioning it solved the issue.
