Laravel MySQL issue (SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused)
I'm getting an "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused" error when trying to execute the command "php artisan migrate".
At first I thought it was because AWS was blocking the connection, so I wrote a little script to test the mysqli_connect; and that worked perfectly fine... So the issue is coming directly from Laravel.
Can someone help with this issue?

Searching on Google & Stackoverflow didn't help. Especially that solution that is specified in your thread... It's long ago that Laravel resolved that "port" problem in the database config file...
My problem comes especially from the "php artisan migrate" command. When I connect manually to the database and try to insert something, it works...

@solidterre Can you look into syslog for extra info.
