PDOException when trying to run php migrate

Question

When I tried to run php artisan migrate with laravel, I received the following error: ""

[PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused

How do I resolve this issue? I've seen other stackoverflow posts such as Laravel 5 php artisan migrate does not work with similar problems. However, they have a different error message while I have "Connection refused". Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If your DB credentials wrong then you might get `Access denied for user xxx@localhost.com`. Try to login to database with same credentials from terminal — Ganesh Ghalame, Jun 07 '16 at 12:17

Make sure sql is running on your computer. Then check the .env file.
