laravel sql server connection not working

I'm new to the PHP framework Laravel and I wanted to connect it with my database. What I have is:

  • sqlsrv as default database connection

  • add sqlsrv configuration

  • Change the .env file

  • Added the PHP driver to connect with SQL Server

But nothing is working :( The error I get is:

SQLSTATE[08001]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server (2)

Anyone who knows how to solve this? I tried MySQL and that connection worked btw ;)
