尝试清除配置缓存，例如：

php artisan config:cache

Answer 2

Did you try to assign your database values to the DB_FIELDS ?

DB_DATABASE=Database
DB_USERNAME=Username 
DB_PASSWORD=Password

example:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=to-do-app-db
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=""

Another option: php artisan config:clear

Answer 3

All the details you need to configure based on your mysql server.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

For example if your are using xampp, go to your phpmyadmin, settings, user account to get your username and password. By default it will be root as username and password is null.
