title: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'landon_app'@'localhost'
body: <p>I'm currently following a laravel/mysql tutorial on lynda and followed the following steps to create a database and connect it to my laravel framework.</p>
  
  <p>The following steps helped name my database, change my user name, and password (in which it is no longer user:root, password:root):</p>
  
  <pre><code>1. CREATE DATABASE landon_app;
  2. CREATE USER 'landon_app'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'landon_app';
  3. GRANT ALL ON landon_app.* TO 'landon_app'@'localhost';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after doing so, I am able to run this on the command line: mysql -u -landon_app -plandon_app</p>
  
  <p>and mysql is up and running.</p>
  
  <p>BUT the problem is, after I create my migrations and set up the table architecture and everything, I get an error saying</p>
  
  <pre><code>     SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'landon_app'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_sc  
    hema = landon_app and table_name = migrations)
  
    SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'landon_app'@'localhost' (using password: YES)  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've already updated my .env file also:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DB_CONNECTION=mysql
  DB_HOST=localhost
  DB_PORT=3306
  DB_DATABASE=landon_app
  DB_USERNAME=landon_app
  DB_PASSWORD=landon_app
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is that and has anyone else run into something similar? I figured since the command line <code>mysql -u -landon_app -plandon_app</code> is working, there shouldn't be a problem with <code>php artisan migrate</code></p>
  
  <p>Anything will help! </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: config/database.php</p>
