Question

I am new in Laravel 5.2.

[PDOException]
 SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (usin
 g password: YES)

While I execute following command:

 php artisan migrate 

I am running application using vagrant on windows PC. Please let me know why I am getting above error.

Answer 1

You are getting above error because on your .env file. If you open that from your project base directory then you will following default configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

Just change above values according to your development environment. Try again, Hopefully that would resolve your issue.

Answer 2

You must set the database connection in .env file.
