In my Ubuntu VM, I kept getting
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
update
I have configured my database like this in my .env file
DB_HOST=45.55.88.57
DB_DATABASE=b-prod
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=*********
UNIX_SOCKET=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
It works perfectly.
But when I use
DB_HOST=45.55.88.57
DB_DATABASE=b-prod
DB_USERNAME=b <----------------------------------------------
DB_PASSWORD=*********
UNIX_SOCKET=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
I didn't work.
What else I should look into to prevent this ?
I have a feeling that I have the wrong password.
How do I test my database password ? DB_PASSWORD=********* ?
This is all user I have
mysql> SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-------------+
| User | Host |
+------------------+-------------+
| root | % |
| root | 127.0.0.1 |
| root | 45.55.88.57 |
| root | ::1 |
| root | b |
| b | localhost |
| debian-sys-maint | localhost |
| root | localhost |

The solution:
Sometimes when you change your .env, the configs don't refresh without clear cache or restarting the server.
The error message are:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
The database are trying to get the information from the "cached" .env configuration, you should try:
php artisan config:clear
if not solve, restart your server.
[Edit] Another NON RECOMMENDED option:
- Go to your
config\database.php
- remove the .env configuration
And set your own credentials
'mysql' => [
'host' => '45.55.88.77',
'database' => 'prod',
'username' => 'forge',
'password' => '*********',
],
This file is caching some data like database configurations \bootstrap\cache\config.php
. Either delete it or update it with new data.
I think your problem is with your database and not with laravel.
mysql> SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-------------+
| User | Host |
+------------------+-------------+
| root | % |
| root | 127.0.0.1 |
| root | 45.55.88.57 |
| root | ::1 |
| root | b |
| b | localhost | <-- must be % not localhost coz you want to access it remotely not locally
| debian-sys-maint | localhost |
| root | localhost |

Hopefully this can help.
check database port if you use wamp, login phpadmin and see Server: MySQL on top of the page.
