The reason of Access denied for user ‘homestead’@’localhost’ laravel 5 error is caching-issue of the .env.php file cause Laravel 5 is using environment based configuration in your .env file.

1. Go to your application root directory and open .env file (In ubuntu may be it’s hidden so press ctrl+h to show hidden files & if you are in terminal then type : ls -a to show hidden files) in your editor and change database configuration setting. then save your .env file

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=laravelu
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=''

2. then restart your apache server/web server. and refresh your page and you have done

3. If still issue try to run below command to clear the old configuration cache file.

php artisan config:clear

Now you are done with the error
