Database is not properly configured.

[jamols09]

I have properly set all the configurations for Laravel .env and database.php
Also ran db with mongod at the terminal w/ admin privilege.
What am I missing here?

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mongodb
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=27017
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=
DB_PASSWORD=

database.php

'mongodb' => [
            'driver' => 'mongodb',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', 27017),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
            'options' => [],
        ],

How is my database not properly configured?

I'm sure that this is more on db issues since it indicates not properly configured rather than not configured
