How do I fix a leaking hose connection?

When the hose is attached to the outside spigot, the water sprays all over. I don't believe the issue is with the hose but appears to be the spigot.

Check the condition of the rubber gasket inside the end of the hose that screws onto the spigot and replace if needed.
How old is your spigot? Our spigot was leaking and spraying when the hose was hooked up but it was 36 years old. We replaced it and no more leaks or spraying!
also check washers in the spigot.
did you put a rubber washer in the opening between the spigot & hose?
I use the plumbers teflon tape on my hose connections, about 3-4 turns and then make your connections.
I agree on the tape, if the spray is between the spigot and hose connection.
