I have a local Laravel site installed and it was working fine and now it's throwing a DB connection error. Here is the function it's failing on:
My local database is set up, the username is root and there is no password (or the password is blank) so that should work fine.
I'm getting an error:
PDOException
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ''#'localhost' (using password: NO)
It doesn't make sense because it was working and as you can see, it's not even recognizing the 'root' username anymore.
I have a file named '.env' in the root of my whole installation and it has the right credentials as far as I know:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=my_db
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
And those are all correct.
Any ideas why this would stop working all of a sudden?
For more data, my app/config/database.php file is:
'connections' => array(
'sqlite' => array(
'driver' => 'sqlite',
'database' => __DIR__.'/../database/production.sqlite',
'prefix' => '',
),
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'my_db',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
'pgsql' => array(
'driver' => 'pgsql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'my_db',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'schema' => 'public',
),
'sqlsrv' => array(
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'my_db',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'prefix' => '',
),
),
Just change the root password and do appropriate action in .env and database.php
Please dont use root without having password.after all this do a mysql restart and an apache restart.all the best. :)
Hi I am using Laravel 5 with homestead. I am experiencing homestead first time so facing problem. I have created a database 'myDb' and imported data into this. I have installed vagrant and homestead, cloned my code and configured homestead.yaml file accordingly. I have set up my .env. When I try to run my project is is giving me unknown database myDb error. I can see my database in my phpmyadmin but I do not know why it is giving me this error. My .env file looks like
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=myDb
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
And I have same settings in my config/database.php too.
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'myDb'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
]
Its really making me mad. What Am I doing wrong? I am getting following
in Connector.php line 55
at PDO->__construct('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=myDb', 'homestead', 'secret', array('0', '2', '0', false, '0')) in Connector.php line 55

One common mistake that you might be making is that you're probably accessing MySQL server on your localhost while you should remember that Homestead is a complete virtual dev. environment. It has it's own Web Server, MySQL server and etc.
To see if you have "myDB" on the Homestead MySQL server as well, try accessing homestead via the following command.
homestead ssh
Once done that, try opening the mysql console via the mysql command.
mysql -u username -p
And after that list all your databases using
show databases
If you can't see "myDb" database there, than you should try connecting to Homestead MySQL server using Navicat or MySQL Workbench and move your database from your local MySQL server to the Homestead MySQL server.
That would probably fix your problem.
If you are migrating your database, check if you are migrating the same database name inside your Homestead.yaml file and the database name in your .env file.
Inside Homestead.yaml file:
databases:
- laravel
Inside your .env file:
DB_DATABASE=laravel
I've installed laravel 5 successfully by using this command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel test-laravel-5-project dev-develop --prefer-dist
I even verified the version of installed laravel by using php artisan -V command. The output was
Laravel Framework version 5.0-dev
Then I went to app/config/database.php, gave dafault db as mysql and gave configurations as
'mysql' => [ 'driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'), 'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'Logintestfive'), 'username'=> env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'), 'password'=> env('DB_PASSWORD', 'manasa'), 'charset'=> 'utf-8', 'collation'=> 'utf-8_unicode_ci', prefix=> '', 'strict'=> false, ]
Then I went to localhost:8000/auth/register and filled up the form and submitted the data and this is the error which I got:
PDOException in Connector.php line 47: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
But I've neither used laravel homestead for installng laravel 5 in my system nor used vagrant to set up laravel homestead. And it tells me like this:
in Connector.php line 47
at PDO->__construct('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=homestead', 'homestead', 'secret', array('0', '2', '0', false, '0')) in Connector.php line 47

How can I fix those issues?
I got a similar problem. I started my server using php artisan serve command, and edited the .env file and refreshed the web-page which did not reflect any changes!
I fixed it by stopping the webserver, editing the .env.php file and restarting the webserver!
So I guess it's a caching-issue of the .env.php file.
Laravel 5.1.10
As the answers already given above by Ganesh and Yordi, But i'm combining the both of them into single one.
Issue:
When i try to create a database in phpmyAdmin and want to create schema/table through Laravel Schema builder service i got the following errors:
PDOException in Connector.php line 50: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
in Connector.php line 50
at PDO->__construct('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=homestead', 'homestead', 'secret', array('0', '2', '0', false, '0'))
in Connector.php line 50
at Connector->createConnection('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=homestead', array('driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'homestead', 'username' => 'homestead', 'password' => 'secret', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', 'strict' => false, 'name' => 'mysql'), array('0', '2', '0', false, '0')) in MySqlConnector.php line 22
at MySqlConnector->connect(array('driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'homestead', 'username' => 'homestead', 'password' => 'secret', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', 'strict' => false, 'name' => 'mysql')) .............
Solution 1:
Then I realised that the issues were in the env file, I forgot to change the values in the env file. The .env file is located in the laravel 5 root directory
open the file and change the following values with your ones
DB_DATABASE = localhost,
DB_USERNAME = databse-username,
DB_PASSWORD = databse-user-password
Solution 2:
Or change in the database.php file without env() as Ganesh syas:
// instead of this block
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'your database name'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'your database username'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'your database password'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
// use this one
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'your database name',
'username' => 'your database username',
'password' => 'your database password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
]
The both solutions worked for me.
Laravel is using the variables contained in your .env file.
From: http://laravel.com/docs/master/configuration
It is often helpful to have different configuration values based on the environment the application is running in. For example, you may wish to use a different cache driver locally than you do on your production server. It's easy using environment based configuration.
Laravel utilizes the DotEnv PHP library by Vance Lucas. In a fresh Laravel installation, the root directory of your application will contain a .env.example file. If you install Laravel via Composer, this file will automatically be renamed to .env. Otherwise, you should rename the file manually.
All of the variables listed in this file will be loaded into the $_ENV PHP super-global when your application receives a request. You may use the env helper to retrieve values from these variables. In fact, if you review the Laravel configuration files, you will notice several of the options already using this helper!
Feel free to modify your environment variables as needed for your own local server, as well as your production environment. However, your .env file should not be committed to your application's source control, since each developer / server using your application could require a different environment configuration.
If you are developing with a team, you may wish to continue including a .env.example file with your application. By putting place-holder values in the example configuration file, other developers on your team can clearly see which environment variables are needed to run your application.
The default .env file looks something like:
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
I got the same problem. After I use the command "php artisan config:clear" to clear the old configuration cache file, it can work. Maybe you can try it.
By the way, my English is not good, hope you can understand.
Laravel is using .env file so change the .env file or change in the database.php file without env()
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'your database name',
'username' => 'your database username',
'password' => 'your database password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
]
In Config->database.php
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'DBName'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
'engine' => null,
],
In .env file :
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=DBName
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Close the laravel application server and restart again for clearing the cache.
php artisan serve
Or you can do :
php artisan config:clear
This will clear the cache in config files.
Now it will definitely work! Cheers!
Laravel config/database.php uses the .env file for database name,username asnd password, Please change your .env file
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=my_project
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=myproject
After changing this run the below command:
composer dump-autoload
then run your project
php artisan serve
I had a very similar issue and didn't know where to look. I cleared the cache, restarted server, etc., no joy. Until I found it...
Before I reverted to a previous version on the Git repo, I used to have my session driver set to use the database! Silly thing, but it's not necessarily the database connection what you need to look at but instead where you are invoking the database to be used at the first place.
I hope that somebody who'll end up on this page the way I did will find this helpful.
i have same issui, edit file .env on root folder and change database config DB_DATABASE DB_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD
Inside your laravel eg. c:/www/laravel, create a new directory called 'local' inside app/config.Copy database.php (app/config/database.php).This works for me
Yes i had the same issues where everything went well right from migration installation to php artisan migrate. But when i tried to create a user the access denied.
Solution i found was to close the ctrl + d to terminate the server and restart. I worked... :)
you can restart your server
I think is a catch error in Laravel so run your server again with "php artisan serve" and refresh your website page IT's OK.
for me
sudo service apache2 reload
did the job
I'm working with MAMP on my local development server on my laravel application and I'm trying to figure out how I can safely setup my server so I don't have to use the following into the database connections mysql array because that should only be used when I'm on my development server. It works when I add the line into the mysql array however that isn't used if I was on a production server. Any ideas?
'unix_socket' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock',
.env.development.php
<?php
return [
'DB_HOST' => '127.0.0.1',
'DB_USERNAME' => 'root',
'DB_PASSWORD' => '1234',
'DB_NAME' => 'mytable'
];
app/config/database.php
'connections' => array(
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => getenv('DB_HOST'),
'database' => getenv('DB_NAME'),
'username' => getenv('DB_USERNAME'),
'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
There is even simple solution. add this to ur .env file
DB_HOST=localhost;unix_socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
On config/database.php:
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST'),
'unix_socket' => env('UNIX_SOCKET'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
'engine' => null,
],
On .env:
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mytable
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=1234
UNIX_SOCKET=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
Check the environment detection part in the bootstrap/start.php. You should add your machine's name to the array that has local key. (If you don't know your machine's name, run hostname in terminal. If it's something stupid, Google how to change it. It's pretty simple.) Then copy and paste your database configurations to app/config/local/database.php. Create the file if it doesn't exists.
Make sure MAMP preference is set to Apache port: 80, Nginx Port: 80, MySQL Port: 3306
Here's what worked for me with Laravel 5.7:
go to config/database.php and find the line 54 below:
before:
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
After:
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock'),
Save the file.
Then in terminal run:
php artisan config:cache
php artisan migrate
If none of the above solutions worked for you,
Try actually starting your webserver as this was the fix for me
I created a database "mydatabase" and I changed config>database.php to:
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'mysite.local',
'database' => 'mydatabase',
'username' => 'myusername',
'password' => 'mypassword',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
now inside route.php i have:
Route::get('/', function()
{
$data=DB::table('user')->get();
return $data;
});
laravel sends an Exception which shows that it tries to access:
homestead.user
instead of
mydatabase.user
now if i change route.php to:
Route::get('/', function()
{
$data=DB::table('mydatabase.user')->get();
return $data;
});
it will work!
Also according to this question I changed config>local>database.php to:
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'mysite.local',
'database' => 'mydatabase',
'username' => 'myusername',
'password' => 'mypassword',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
But this time, even
$data=DB::table('mydatabase.user')->get();
doesn't work either! This time it thrown another exception :
PDOException (2002)
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
My question is why laravel tries to use "homestead" database instead of "mydatabase"? should I change something else?
EDIT:
I changed the config/local/database.php to
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'mydatabase',
'username' => 'myusername',
'password' => 'mypassword',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
and everything works fine! (I changed mysite.local to localhost)
I've not define local host in my /etc/hosts so why laravel looks for that host?
Your host should be localhost. The term localhost means the computer which laravel is running on. mysite.local is presumably a virtual site residing on this computer. It doesn't have its own installation of Mysql. All virtual sites will share the same mysql. They will just use different databases.
Thats how my setups work anyway.
The problem is in your config/database.php with default connection, currently default connection setting is getting from .env file as
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
So change it to :
'default' => 'mysql',
