Unable to connect to localhost database

Question

This question has already been asked multiple times but none of the answers have helped me.

I am upgrading to Drupal 8 and to do so, I need to specify the login credentials for my Drupal 7 database.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I can access the database perfectly fine to my SQL server is 100% running. I have checked the credentials inside settings.php and it says the following:

$databases = array (
  'default' =>
  array (
    'default' =>
    array (
      'database' => 'karma-living.dev',
      'username' => 'root',
      'password' => '',
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'port' => '',
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'prefix' => '',
    ),
  ),
);

So I copied above but I still get the error message above (yellow box).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Acquia桌面上说您的数据库名称为“ karma_dev”，但是您输入的名称为“ karma-living.dev”作为Drupal的名称，因此存在不一致之处。
