I'm getting laravel mysql [2002] connection error

Question

I'm getting an error mysql connection [2002] error . I have configured the .env file correctly. I'm using xampp . I also have other laravel apps on the same localhost, they're working correctly but this one isn't.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=satrap7
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Answer 1

The problem is that you did not set an DB_PASSWORD . Please grant permission for an user to satrap7 database with a password and set this to your .env file. Or ( which I do not recommend ) but for local running db should be fine set your mysql root password and set this password in your .env
