Answer 1

After long hours this worked for me:

Changing the port in php My Admin previously 8889

APP_NAME=laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY= YOUR KEY
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=127.0.0.1

LOG_CHANNEL=stack

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_SOCKET=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

and then

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
