I am new in Laravel development. I have updated Xampp to 7.3.11 on my Mac Mojave 10.14.6. In Laravel project when I hit php artisan migrate command I got following error.
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = laravel and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')
When I start Xampp service, my admin panel run on http://127.0.0.1:8080/phpmyadmin. My working project in Laravel is also not connecting with database saying connection refused. I tried by changing DB_Port and DB_Host in .env file. I tried by clearing cache.
Any Help will be appreciated.
My .env file
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Open localhost/phpmyadmin and find a tab called User accounts.
Find the root user and set its password in your .env and also don't forget to create the database named laravel if it doesn't exist
Then you can clear config cache
php artisan config:clear
And migrate
php artisan migrate
Hope this helps
I've come across this Error too by building up a new project with Laravel running in docker-compose for development.
My solution was to compare the prebuild .env-File with the actual credentials I used for building the database container. Especially I was using DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 instead of the correct service name of my docker-compose setup: DB_HOST=mysql
Just simple step i follow and solved
open .env file
change DB_HOST = 127.0.0.1 to localhost
done
I had the same issue. It was resolved by just restarting the local host server i.e Xampp
In most cases it's an issue with the port configuration. You need to check which port your server is running on. Then you have to edit the .env file of your project. For instance if you are using mamp the port should be changed to 8889 instead of the default 3606 for laravel. The same applies to laravel 8.
I had the same problem and when I applied the following operations, the problem was solved.
php artisan key:generate
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
Try out doing
php artisan config:cache
then on your .env file specify your database and your port
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE= YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
then run your mysql server and run
php artisan migrate
Note: Make sure your Xammp server is perfectly fine & have already started mysql (using apache server or any server you are using) and also make sure you already created your database before running php artisan migrate Hope it works for you
I had this issue, I use MAMP for MYSQL server. It was a configuration issue that I solved by changing the port to the correct one I found in MAMP instructions, which is 8889. So the correct configuration in my .env file is:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=8889
DB_DATABASE=dbname
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=rootpassword
Try this conf in .env (i'm using Laravel v7.0), it's working for me :
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root
Damn, I feel so stupid lol. This is what helped me after scratching my head for hours. Check what port your MySQL is running on and that's the one you use in your .env file.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=8889
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=yourusername
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword
Make sure when you create your user that you grant all privileges for the user. If you're still confused then ask me and ill find time to help you out. Happy coding everyone!
