title: How to configure MariaDB in Laravel 5?
body: <p>I have read somewhere that, there is no driver for "MariaDB" in Laravel 5 and that we can use mysql driver to use MariaDB in Laravel 5. But even then I am getting this error when i give my MariaDB username and password. The password is "root" and username is also "root".</p>
  
  <pre><code>SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone guide me on how to configure MariaDB to be used with Laravel 5.</p>
