Don't change anything in database.php config file. What you need to do is to change DB credentials in .env file on server side.

So, you'll have different .env files on a local machine and server, but the same database.php config file.

Update your database.php

'mysql' => [
            'driver'    => 'mysql',
            'host'      => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'yourdatabasename'),
            'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
            'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'),
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => '',
            'strict'    => false,
        ],
