Everything worked fine until I update XAMPP with PHP from 7.1 to 7.2. I noticed to access phpmyadmin using this new XAMPP on mac, need port 8080 (http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin). Is this the problem? I already tried to change DB_HOST from 127.0.0.1 to localhost but nothing works.

Here my .env looks like

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=testing
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=''

localhost is a DNS for 127.0.0.1 so it does not matter if you write the DNS or write the IP and the default port is 8080 so again it does not matter if you write it or not. please give us more info – AH.Pooladvand Apr 20 '18 at 04:47
remove quotes from DB_PASSWORD='' just simply DB_PASSWORD= – Gaurav Gupta Apr 20 '18 at 05:15
What version Laravel are you using? This answer might be helpful in migration to a newer version of PHP on Windows/XAMPP https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2154762/upgrading-php-in-xampp-for-windows – Mike Stratton Apr 20 '18 at 06:16
I'm using XAMPP-VM (PHP 7.2.4). I already tried using DB_PASSWORD= , but still received same error – Ivy Tansil Apr 23 '18 at 00:49
could you fix this? – Juan Fernandez Sosa Apr 30 '18 at 22:05
No. I decided to downgrade the XAMPP version – Ivy Tansil May 02 '18 at 04:20
