what i am trying to do is if the connection to the database fails, instead of getting No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it, i want to throw a custom view that displays a simple h1 with the text that the connection fails. How can i do that?

You can do this by modifying your app/Exceptions/Handler.php to catch that specific error:
public function render($request, Throwable $exception) {
if ($exception instanceof QueryException) {
return response()->view('errorpage');
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
Of course you can change the QueryException to any exception that you want to handle, such as: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException or any other.

In app/Exceptions/Handler.php
use PDOException;
use App\Exceptions\Handler;
class ExceptionHandler extends Handler
{
public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
if ($exception instanceof PDOException) {
return response()->view('errors.database', [], 500);
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
}
In resources/views/errors, errors.database, you can create custom style

In my situation i didn't need use App\Exceptions\Handler, and instead of using Exception i used Throwable

@Raitiko Actually, I don't know the complete workaround, So I suggested what we commonly do. :)
The answer was given at the top, but i made it work with some modifications.
use Throwable;
use PDOException;
public function render($request, Throwable $exception)
{
if ($exception instanceof PDOException) {
return response()->view('errors.database', [], 500);
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
