Answer 1

In your .env file change DB_PORT from

DB_PORT=3306

to

DB_PORT=33060

refrence to https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/homestead#connecting-to-databases

becarefull about last zero

Answer 2

Once you changed your .env file then you must restart the server.

In laravel in command prompt, type:

php artisan serve

Answer 3

Run the following command:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

Answer 4

in your database.php file, take off 'DB_DATABASE' 'DB_USERNAME' 'DB_PASSWORD'

and replace with your database name, username and password

this will work fine for u.

Answer 5

In your Laravel .env file, alter the variables accordingly to match your desired settings.

If you're using something like XAMMP or EasyPHP with a mysql db, perhaps use the following setup

 DB_HOST=localhost
 DB_DATABASE=mysql
 DB_USERNAME=root
 DB_PASSWORD=''

Answer 6

Sometime in the future. Try to clear your config first

php artisan config:clear. 

Close all the terminal /cmd windows and then restart terminal/CMD and this should get rid of the error message. See if it works.
