php - Laravel 5 database issue

Question

I've installed laravel 5 successfully by using this command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel test-laravel-5-project dev-develop --prefer-dist

I even verified the version of installed laravel by using php artisan -V command. The output was

Laravel Framework version 5.0-dev

Then I went to app/config/database.php, gave dafault db as mysql and gave configurations as

'mysql' => [ 'driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'), 'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'Logintestfive'), 'username'=> env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'), 'password'=> env('DB_PASSWORD', 'manasa'), 'charset'=> 'utf-8', 'collation'=> 'utf-8_unicode_ci', prefix=> '', 'strict'=> false, ]

Then I went to localhost:8000/auth/register and filled up the form and submitted the data and this is the error which I got:

PDOException in Connector.php line 47: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

But I've neither used laravel homestead for installng laravel 5 in my system nor used vagrant to set up laravel homestead. And it tells me like this:

in Connector.php line 47
at PDO->__construct('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=homestead', 'homestead', 'secret', array('0', '2', '0', false, '0')) in Connector.php line 47

How can I fix those issues?

Answer 1

I got a similar problem. I started my server using php artisan serve command, and edited the .env file and refreshed the web-page which did not reflect any changes!

I fixed it by stopping the webserver, editing the .env.php file and restarting the webserver!

So I guess it's a caching-issue of the .env.php file.
