Laravel 5 error SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Question

I have installed Laravel 5 successfully and changed MySQL credentials in database.php file in config directory to \'

mysql\' => [
            \'driver\'           


        

Answer 1

The .env file should have same database name , username and password as in the mysql database and check whether all permissions are granted to the user for accessing the database or not. I solved my problem by adding the cpanel username in front of database name and username like jumbo_admingo and jumbo_user1 respectively where jumbo is my cpanel username and admingo is the database name i created in mysql and user1 is the user which has been provided the access to the database admingo. THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM.

Answer 2

Pls Update .env file

 DB_HOST=localhost
 DB_DATABASE=homestead
 DB_USERNAME=homestead
 DB_PASSWORD=secret

After then restart server

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.

Answer 6

Reason is the old database credentials are cached /bootstap/cache/config.php

In the .env file, I modified it as follow

 DB_HOST=localhost
 DB_DATABASE=homestead
 DB_USERNAME=homestead
 DB_PASSWORD=secret

Then removed that file

/bootstap/cache/config.php 

If the issue still there you might try the following.

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

Exit vagrant by writing the exit command Then restart vargarnt/homestead config

vagrant reload --provision

Then opened vagrant again

Vagrant Up
Vagrant ssh
