Laravel 4 database.php无法访问DB

Question

I have a laravel4 app working on my work computer. I recentley download the files via svn onto my home machine and when I attempt to open the project in the browser I get the following error:

ErrorException (E_UNKNOWN)

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (View: C:\wamp\www\xzy.tld\app\views\layout.blade.php) (View: C:\wamp\www\xyz.tld\app\views\layout.blade.php)

This is my database.php file:

'mysql' => array(
            'driver'    => 'mysql',
            'host'      => 'localhost',
            'database'  => 'xyz',
            'username'  => 'root',
            'password'  => '',
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => '',
        ),

I know for a fact that my home machine does not require a password for mysql so I don't know why this is happening? Is there some sort of composer command I should run in order to update my project?

EDIT: Strangely if I navigate to the Connector.php class within the framework and var_dump the $config variable I get this:

array (size=9)
  'driver' => string 'mysql' (length=5)
  'host' => string '127.0.0.1' (length=9)
  'database' => string 'xyz' (length=10)
  'username' => string 'root' (length=4)
  'password' => string 'root' (length=4)
  'charset' => string 'utf8' (length=4)
  'collation' => string 'utf8_unicode_ci' (length=15)
  'prefix' => string '' (length=0)
  'name' => string 'mysql' (length=5)

I don't know where this information is coming from because in my database.php file I have password set to nothing. If I delete all contents of the database.php file I still get same error.

Answer 1

Sounds like you're reading from the wrong configuration file. Check the credentials in both

app/config/local/database.php

and

app/local/database.php

It may be whatever means you'r to identify the local environment on one machine don't work on the second machine, and Laravel's reading from different files.
