laravel中的数据库连接

Question

i can't find why laravel doesn't connect to my database, i think however my configuration is right. the error i got is "SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES) " Here is my .env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=chat
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

and my database.php:

      'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),

     'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'strict' => true,
        'engine' => null,
      ],

did i miss something ?

Answer 1

Try to replace

    'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
    'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',

with

    'charset' => 'utf8',
    'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',

and then execute, from your project root:

php artisan cache:clear

Let me know what you get.
