Answer 1

1. Edit the file .env in your laravel root directory. make looks as in below :

    DB_HOST=localhost
    DB_DATABASE=laravel
    DB_USERNAME=root
    DB_PASSWORD=your-root-pas
   

2. Also create one database in phpmyadmin named, "laravel".

3. Run below commands :

    php artisan cache:clear
    php artisan config:cache
    php artisan config:clear   
    php artisan migrate
   

It worked for me, XAMPP with Apache and MySQL.
