SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused

Hi, I am using xampp server to run my php laravel application. I used the command 'php artisan migrate' for migration and I am getting this error:

: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = testing and table_name = migrations)

My env file has been modified like this:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=testing
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

where 'testing' is my db name.
I tried many methods and I cross verified my db credentials too.
I need help in this

You may follow another abordation, run the docker-compose with postgres and pgadmin for interface:

version: '3.3'
services:
  db:
    image: postgres:11.2
    ports:
      - 12345:5432
    volumes:
      - ./volume:/var/lib/postgresql
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: test
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 1234
    networks:
      - development-network
  app:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4
    links:
      - db:db
    ports:
      - 90:80
    environment:
      PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: "[e-mail]"
      PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: "1234"
    depends_on:
      - db
    networks:
      - development-network
networks:
  development-network:
    driver: bridge

And configure as follow

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=0.0.0.0
DB_PORT=12345
DB_DATABASE=test
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=1234

Hey, I'm having the same error. I tried everything from changing my .env to re-installing everything up. But nothing seems to work for me. Did anyone find any solution?
