SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user [duplicate] - php

Question

I just installed laravel and made a migration. But when i try to run it i get this error:
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I think the Database.php file looks different than normal. Is this something new in the new Laravel?
My Database config:
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'LaraBlog'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'root'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
Hope someone can help me :)

Answer 1

I tried to make changes to database.php file present within config folder it looks something like this
'default' => 'mysql',
....
...
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'sample'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
I am not using any VM, I am using my local machine, with the database user as root and password a null.
I have also changed my .env file and it looks something like this:
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=zLzPMzs5W4FNNuguTmbG8M0iFqhIVnsP
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=sample
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=null
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
Even after doing all the changes when I try to register using the registration form that is shipped with laravel, I try to add a user to my database I get the following error
After doing all the changes I cleared the cache and loaded it again and it seems to work for me now!
if any one is also facing the same issue just run the following commands
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

Answer 2

I figured it out :) Had to chance the .env file :)
Is there any changes in the schemaes?
Shouldn't this work:
public function up()
{
// Create table with columns
Schema::create('users', function($table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('username');
$table->string(Hash::make('password'));
$table->string('firstname');
$table->string('lastname');
$table->string('email')
$table->string('role');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
// Insert table to database
Schema::drop('users');
}

Try to check out the ".env" file in your root directory. These values are taken first. Yours are just the defaults if there are none given in the .env file.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Your_Database_Name
DB_USERNAME=Your_UserName
DB_PASSWORD=Your_Password

Answer 4

Make changes in the database.php file in **config > local >database.php
rather than change config > database.php file.
hope it will work ;)

Answer 5

practically when you are using localhost server like xampp, you create the database manually "homestead", such errors are due to missing database arguments. 100% percent working test it and see
hit your cmd and type in:
create database homestead;

Answer 6

i got the same issue after creating laravel project. The authentication command run successfully.
php artisan make:auth
But when i try to register or login i got the same error. I run the following command
php artisan config:clear
then stopped laravel application and also my server. after restarting my laravel app and server everything was ok.

Answer 7

Tried all the solutions here but no work for me
This Worked on the first try:
If you are using the PHP's default web server (eg. php artisan serve) you need to restart your server after changing your .env file values.
I found this solution from here laravel.io (Read the solution of Byjml)
