Answer 1

Try out doing

php artisan config:cache

then on your .env file specify your database and your port

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE= YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

then run your mysql server and run

php artisan migrate

Note: Make sure your Xammp server is perfectly fine & have already started mysql (using apache server or any server you are using) and also make sure you already created your database before running php artisan migrate Hope it works for you
