Log into MYSQL - use the mysql database   Select   from User   Make sure that your HOST column is correct  It should be the host that you are connecting from  your application server  be it IP address  or DNS name  Also     will work  meaning wildcard  but will not be secure

All you have to do is alter your  env file   DB HOST localhost DB DATABASE homestead DB USERNAME homestead DB PASSWORD secret   In front of DB DATABASE  write the name of the database and in front of DB USERNAME  use root

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

TLDR  You need to stop the server Ctrl   c and start again using php artisan serve    Details   If you are using Laravel  and have started local dev server already by php artisan serve  And after having above server already running  you change your database server related stuff in  env file  Like moving from MySQL to SQLite or something  You need to make sure that you stop above process i e  Ctrcl C or anything which stop the process  And then restart Artisan Serve again i e  y php artisan serve and refresh your browser and your issue related to database will be fixed  This is what worked for me for Laravel 5 3

The reason of Access denied for user    homestead       localhost    laravel 5 error is caching-issue of the  env php file cause Laravel 5 is using environment based configuration in your  env file   1  Go to your application root directory and open  env file  In ubuntu may be it   s hidden so press ctrl h to show hidden files  amp  if you are in terminal then type   ls -a to show hidden files  in your editor and change database configuration setting  then save your  env file  DB HOST localhost DB DATABASE laravelu DB USERNAME root DB PASSWORD      2  then restart your apache server web server  and refresh your page and you have done  3  If still issue try to run below command to clear the old configuration cache file   php artisan config clear   Now you are done with the error

From your question  it seems you are running homestead  In that case  make sure you re running the commands in your VM  Many devs including me often make mistake and run artisan commands outside of VM which the commands will try to connect to our local database accessible through localhost which is different from the database used by homestead  Cd to your Homestead directory and run  vagrant ssh   then cd into code if that is where you keep your projects and cd into your project and run php artisan migrate again I hope this will help other people

Two way to solve it  First way  Not recommended   Open your database config file  laravel root config database php   amp  search for the below code block            host         gt  env  DB HOST    localhost             database     gt  env  DB DATABASE    blog             username     gt  env  DB USERNAME    root             password     gt  env  DB PASSWORD          Change the code block as below           host         gt   yourHostName            database     gt   YourDatabastName            username     gt   YoutDatabaseUsername            password     gt   YourDatabasePassword     Second way  Recommended by Laravel   Check your Laravel root there have a file call  env if not exist  look for  env example  copy rename it as  env after that the file looks blow    APP ENV local APP DEBUG true APP KEY someRandomNumber  DB HOST localhost DB DATABASE homestead DB USERNAME homestead DB PASSWORD secret  CACHE DRIVER file SESSION DRIVER file QUEUE DRIVER sync  MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST mailtrap io MAIL PORT 2525 MAIL USERNAME null MAIL PASSWORD null   Modify the below block as follow  DB HOST yourHostName DB DATABASE yourDatabaseName DB USERNAME yourDatabaseUsername DB PASSWORD youPassword   Now it will work fine

In my case the error was  caused  by my Homestead   Vagrant configuration about which I forgot    trying to run the migration just from command line   In case of using Homestead Vagrant Box environment you should run your migration from within your Homestead machine  after connecting to it using ssh  vagrant 192 168 10 10 22  then the access rights will be OK and will allow the migration to run

I just wanted to post this because this issue frustrated me for about 3 hours today  I have not tried any of the methods listed in the other answers  though they all seem reasonable  In fact  I was just about to try going through each of the above proposed solutions  but somehow I got this stroke of inspiration  Here is what worked for me to get me back working -- YMMV   1  Find your  env file  2  Rename your  env file to something else  Laravel 5 must be using this file as an override for settings somewhere else in the framework  I renamed mine to  env old 3  You may need to restart your web server  but I did not have to   Good luck

If you have an error returning something like PDOException in Connector php line 55  SQLSTATE HY000   1049  Unknown database  laravelu  is due to you are changing your batabase config as DB DATABASE laravelu  So for now you either    Change the DB DATABASE  yourdatabase  or create a database called laravelu in your phpmyadmin   this should be able to solve it

if you are using php artisan migrate NOT from vagrant box but from host machine then you must define inside the  env the ip of the box 192 168 10 10  and obviously set permission to homestead user from your ip something like  grant all privileges on     to  homestead    identified by  secret     in  env file   DB HOST 192 168 10 10 DB DATABASE homestead DB USERNAME homestead

You have to run the   php artisan migrate command from within Homestead  not your Mac

User · Answer

When you install Homestead  this creates a default  homestead    database in the VM  You should SSH into the VM homestead ssh and run   your migrations from there  If you are working locally with no VM    you ll need to create your database manually  By default  the database   should be called homestead  the username is homestead and the password   is secret    check this thread on laracasts or this blog post for more details     if you are getting    PDOException  SQLSTATE HY000   2002  No such file or directory   try changing  host  in the  app config database php file from  localhost  to  127 0 0 1    you can find more details and other fixes here on this thread    Also check whether you have specified the correct unix socket   check this thread
