How to connect to MySQL on a different port

I ran php artisan serve artisan command on a Laravel app, it runs on port 8000. However, I get a MySQL error when hitting a table: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

My .env

DB_HOST=locahost
DB_PORT=3306

Sometimes this problem occurs because of cache, run the below command and try to clean your configuration cache:

php artisan config:clear

And if your problem is not solved try to change your DB_HOST=localhost in your .env file to DB_HOST=127.0.0.1.
