thanks for reading my question, I had been working on this error since a week reading questions in ServerFault, Stackoverflow and AskUbuntu but couldn't figure out the problem.

I have

  • Lubuntu 16.04 (ubuntu distro)
  • Nginx
  • Laravel 4.2.17
  • MySQL 5.7

I have a pre-existed project which I cloned from GitHub and everything is going well but when I go to a page which has to connect to database (Like attempt a login) I got this error:

PDOException (1045) HELP

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Graphic Description of the Error

FILES INVOLVE

I have a .env file in the project and I had named it .env.local.php this is the file:

<?php
/**

* Si se requiere cargar otros valores para un entorno diferente al de produccion (local, development, etc.)

I have a database.php file in /var/www/kinbuweb/app/config/local/database.php I highlight the /config/local path which I've been reading is the configuration if I have a local enviroment (and I had named my file .env.local.php) the file in the path:

<?php

On the other hand I have a file out of the local folder (Path: /var/www/kinbuweb/app/config) which is called database.php too, I think is the general configuration it has:

    ],

],

];

What I had tried

  1. Use the credentials in the local (/var/www/kinbuweb/app/config/local/database.php) database.php configuration like this:

    <?php
    /**
    * Variables de entorno .env.php
    * Si se requiere cargar otros valores para un entorno diferente al de produccion (local, development, etc.)
    * cree un archivo con el nombre asi:
    *  - local => .env.local.php
    *  - development => .env.development.php
    */
    return [
    
    'DATABASE_NAME' => 'homestead',
    'DATABASE_USER' => 'homestead',
    'DATABASE_PASSWORD' => 'secret',
    
    
    
    'GOOGLE_IDENTIFIER'     => 'GOOGLE_IDENTIFIER',
    'GOOGLE_SECRET'         => 'GOOGLE_SECRET',
    'GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URI'   => 'GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URI',
    
    'FACEBOOK_IDENTIFIER'   => 'FACEBOOK_IDENTIFIER',
    'FACEBOOK_SECRET'       => 'FACEBOOK_SECRET',
    'FACEBOOK_CALLBACK_URI' => 'FACEBOOK_CALLBACK_URI',
    
    
    'PAYU_MACRO_ACCOUNT_ID' => 654321,
    'PAYU_MICRO_ACCOUNT_ID' => 123456,
    'PAYU_MERCHANT_ID' => 123456,
    'PAYU_API_KEY' => 'ABCabc123DEFdef456GHIghi78',
    'PAYU_API_LOGIN' => '123abc456def789',
    'PAYU_TEST' => 1,
    
    ];
    
  2. Aggregate the port to the database configuration in the local folder like this:

    <?php
    
    return [
    
    'connections' => [
    
    'mysql' => [
        'driver'   => 'mysql',
        'host'     => 'localhost:3306',
        'database' => 'homestead',
        'username' => 'homestead',
        'password' => 'secret',
        'charset'  => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'   => '',
        ],
    
    'pgsql' => [
        'driver'  => 'pgsql',
        'host'    => 'localhost',
        'database' => 'homestead',
        'username' => 'homestead',
        'password' => 'secret',
        'charset' => 'utf8',
        'prefix'  => '',
        'schema'  => 'public',
       ],
    
    ],
    
    ];
    

And while I got the same error: PDOException (1045) HELP

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Any ideas with I could solve this? Thanks

Try do add privilege for your user 'homestead' in your mysql for you database.

Log into mysql and add privilege like this:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your password of MySQL

mysql > grant all privileges on homestead *.* to 'homestead'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; 

'password' here is in your database.php

If you are in local enviroment the path for database.php is:

yourporjectfolder/app/config/local

mysql > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

  • Hello @romain I'll try. In 'password' which password I had to place, from the MySQL or from one in database? Thanks for answering – Luigi Lopez Feb 04 '17 at 17:59
  • The password of your database, not your root password. The command grant all privileges will create an user 'homestead' with password 'password' who will have all privileges on your database 'homestead'. After you will can update your database configuration in your file in the local folder with this user access ('database' => 'homestead', 'username' => 'homestead', 'password' => 'password') – Romain Feb 04 '17 at 18:01
