SQLSTATE[HY000] [1044] Access denied for user in cPanel

Question

I have uploaded a Laravel project in my cPanel. It gives the following error

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1044] Access denied for user 'amartuki_finance'@'localhost' to database 'amartuki_finance'

But I have change my .env file's db name,user and password. Also configure in config/database.php file.

.env file

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=amartuki_finance
DB_USERNAME=amartuki_finance
DB_PASSWORD=amartuki_finance

config/database.php file

'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'amartuki_finance'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'amartuki_finance'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'amartuki_finance'),
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'strict' => false,
        'engine' => null,
    ],

What's the solution then ! Anybody help please ?

Answer 1

Solved my problem. It's a very silly mistake.

After creating user I didn't add the user to my database and that's why user didn't get any privilege.

Now change those things and the project run successfully.

Answer 2

You should follow following method to load env values in Laravel

1. load env file

Dotenv::load(base_path()); // path of your env file

2. require your values

Dotenv::required(array('DB_PORT','DB_HOST', 'DB_DATABASE','DB_USERNAME', 'DB_PASSWORD','DB_SOCKET'));

3. assign like below

 'mysql' => [ 'driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => getenv('DB_HOST'), 'port' => getenv('DB_PORT'), 'database' => getenv('DB_DATABASE'), 'username' => getenv('DB_USERNAME'), 'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'), 'unix_socket' => getenv('DB_SOCKET'), 'charset' => 'utf8mb4', 'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', 'strict' => false, 'engine' => null, ],
