Memcached – SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'landon_app'@'localhost'

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.

The following steps helped name my database, change my user name, and password (in which it is no longer user:root, password:root):

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';

after doing so, I am able to run this on the command line: mysql -u -landon_app -plandon_app

and mysql is up and running.

BUT the problem is, after I create my migrations and set up the table architecture and everything, I get an error saying

     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)  

I’ve already updated my .env file also:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=landon_app
DB_USERNAME=landon_app
DB_PASSWORD=landon_app

Why is that and has anyone else run into something similar? I figured since the command line mysql -u -landon_app -plandon_app is working, there shouldn’t be a problem with php artisan migrate

Anything will help!

Thanks!
