Did you check if the MySQL service is running?

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
Mostly whenever I start my laragon server and try to run ' php artisan serve' on my terminal, The error ' No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it' shows up. Even though after i restart my pc and do the same thing it works just fine , i am looking a better solution here since i don't want to restart pc every time i want to open up a project. I use
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=3306
for all of my projects in their .env file.
I've tried netstat -aon | findstr 3306 to see if anything occupied the port, but nothing shows up.

@Maelfjord Yes but still nothing.

@Makbel Try checking if the MySQL service hostname is 'localhost', the port is '3306', or the password if it is set.
If that doesn't work, it's probably a network connection problem. You might need to configure MySQL settings or your firewall settings.

If there's nothing listening on port 3306, then clearly the mysql server isn't listening on it either. You need to be running the mysql server in order to connect to it.

whenever I start my laragon server and try to run ' php artisan serve'
Why not use Apache?
