MAMP with Laravel Unix Socket

Question

I\'m working with MAMP on my local development server on my laravel application and I\'m trying to figure out how I can safely setup my server so I don\'t have to use the follow

Answer 1

On config/database.php:

'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST'),
            'unix_socket' => env('UNIX_SOCKET'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => false,
            'engine' => null,
        ],

On .env:

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mytable
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=1234
UNIX_SOCKET=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

Answer 2

There is even simple solution. add this to ur .env file

DB_HOST=localhost;unix_socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

Answer 3

Check the environment detection part in the bootstrap/start.php. You should add your machine's name to the array that has local key. (If you don't know your machine's name, run hostname in terminal. If it's something stupid, Google how to change it. It's pretty simple.) Then copy and paste your database configurations to app/config/local/database.php. Create the file if it doesn't exists.

Answer 4

If none of the above solutions worked for you.....

Try actually starting your webserver as this was the fix for me

Answer 5

Make sure MAMP preference is set to Apache port: 80, Nginx Port: 80, MySQL Port: 3306

Here's what worked for me with Laravel 5.7:

go to config/database.php and find the line 54 below:

before: 'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),

After: 'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock'),

Save the file.

Then in terminal run: php artisan config:cache php artisan migrate
