Hi,

If I read your question correctly you set

DB_PASSWORD=-

rather than

DB_PASSWORD=

Could this be the issue?

I would also say it's likely that you actually need a password. This is more of a guess though.

I heard about the fact that it's better to put '-' instead of null, but the result is the same...

So I would need to set a password to my databse ?

I'd say so, yes. If you get the same error without the '-' there is probably a default value somewhere.

Do you know how to set a password to phpmyadmin on ubuntu ? I tried following tutorials but it didn't work :/

I'm not sure with phpmyadmin, but you could have a look at this one and do it at command line. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html

You could also just create another user: https://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/user_management

Nothing of this works --' I created a new user with all previledge and a password, I edited the .env file to put the new username and password, but it still display this error... SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'fab'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Are you using a VPS dedicated to this project?

Not at all ...

What's your setup?

What do you mean by setup ?

After a day of research, I achived to debbug this access problem, but now it tells me that the table in my database doesn't exist whereas it does exist for sure...

SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'fabien.articles' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from articles)

up ?...
