Laravel access denied for user myproject@localhost

Question

I'm using Laravel 4.2 and I'm usinh ssh to log into server. I'm trying to make anew migration and I ran:

php artisan make:migration create_logs_table --create=logs

but i'm getting this error:

{"error":{"type":"PDOException","message":"SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'myproject'@'localhost' (using password: YES)","file":"\\/home\\/public_html\\/myproject\\/vendor\\/laravel\\/framework\\/src\\/Illuminate\\/Database\\/Connectors\\/Connector.php","line":47}}

I haven't changed my env file - database, username and password are still the same. When I use command line and try to create a new migration, I got this error. Why I get this error for user myproject -> my username is another - this is the name of the project.

Thanks!

Well CLI in Laravel 4 can be tricky. Despite of .env file you could also have different enviroment in web and in CLI set.

So... first of all if you have for example local enviroment - in the .env file:

export APP_ENV=local

but this is not enough. You have to open your bootstrap/start.php file and set your machine to specify enviroment:

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(function() use ($app){
    $env = array_get($_SERVER, 'APP_ENV');
    if(empty($env)){
        $envs = [
            'local' => ['your_machine_name'],
        ];
        $env = $app->detectEnvironment($envs);
    }
    return $env;
});

Be sure that you have this all set and you're working on good enviroment.
