if you want to view your website on your local machine then you have to provide the database name in your .env file and the DB_username
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY==
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost
LOG_CHANNEL=stack
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=test //Your Database name
DB_USERNAME=test //By Default it should be root
DB_PASSWORD=8mVNzfHR~*#s //no need for password you can keep it blank
BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
CACHE_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
SESSION_DRIVER=file
SESSION_LIFETIME=120
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
