Laravel - SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'-CodePudding

I have checked this issue on this forum but couldn't solve it.

.env file

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

and database.php

'mysql' => [
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
    'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
    'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
    'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'channelable'),
    'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
    'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'root'),
    'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
    'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
    'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
    'prefix' => '',
    'prefix_indexes' => true,
    'strict' => true,
    'engine' => null,
    'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
        PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
    ]) : [],
],

I am sure that the database username and password are: root

I use php artisan config:clear and php artisan cache:clear commands but still show me a error.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = channelable and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')

Can you help me?

CodePudding user response：

Try this in terminal:

sudo mysql -u root

mysql> ALTER USER the_user IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'the_password';

CodePudding user response：

I faced the same issue few weeks ago and even after changing the user details from terminal, the error persistsed.

Below was how I resolved it. Enclose the DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD values in double quotes as shown below:

DB_USERNAME="root"
DB_PASSWORD="root"

Maybe that will help.
