I am running 2nd generation instance. I am able to connect locally but when I run gcloud app deploy I keep getting the error Error establishing a database connection I have tried using root and a blank password and still does not work.

I have followed instructions from https://cloud.google.com/php/tutorials/wordpress-app-engine-flexible and still getting the error.

See my wp-config.php page as well as the screenshot from cloud.google.com everything matches but still getting the error.

I have followed the [tutorial](https://cloud.google.com/php/tutorials/wordpress-app-engine-flexible ) you mentioned and got the same issue. When I followed instructions on GitHub of the sample it works as expected.

An important difference I found is that the official tutorial doesn't mention cron.yaml:

gcloud app deploy

and in the repo:

gcloud app deploy \
    --promote --stop-previous-version app.yaml cron.yaml

I would follow the github version only.
