Answer 1

MySQL 5.7.28

The MySQL docs recommend the following (note the use of GLOBAL):

SET GLOBAL sql_mode = 'ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';

Answer 2

it sounds like strict mode.

You may disable strict mode in one of two ways:

Open your my.ini file within the MySQL installation directory, and look for the text sql-mode.

Find:

sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

and change to

sql-mode="NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

or you can run the following in phpMyAdmin

SET @@global.sql_mode='';

Answer 3

You can use nullableTimestamps() instead of timestamps()

or else

$table->timestamp('created_at')->default(\DB::raw('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'));

also, check the database server version

Answer 4

This worked for me after being unsuccessful with strict mode:

$table->timestamp('published_on')->useCurrent();
