I was able to successfully create migrations from Xampp. However when i installed Homestead(vagrant,Virtual Box) and try to associate it with a database and run migrations i am facing

##[PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [1698] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'##

I have literally tried many configurations for .env file and config/database file , none seems to be working. .ENV File

APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:AxtpwFxTGQ3tkumIu1nkzswrTbuI37BigLGn3meRC6M=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_URL=http://localhost

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=lara56
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

My config/database file

'connections' => [

        'sqlite' => [
            'driver' => 'sqlite',
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')),
            'prefix' => '',
        ],

        'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'lara56'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
        ],

  • MYSQL 5.7 USERS: You will not be able to use 'root' user anymore. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/36909790/1696153 – Katie Mar 09 '19 at 01:41

You should use homestead as username and database since it's the default configuration. Or you can ssh into homestead and create the username.

just fixed this issue by stopping any MySQL services that were running in my task manager Services bar after I had stopped Xampp
