If you are using Laravel Homestead, here is settings

(include Vagrant-Virtual Machine)

.bash-profile

alias vm="ssh vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222"

database.php

    'mysql' => [
        'driver'    => 'mysql',
        'host'      => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
        'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
        'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
        'charset'   => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'    => '',
        'strict'    => false,
    ],

Terminal

vm

vagrant@homestead:~/Code/projectFolder  php artisan migrate:install

Answer 2

This happened to me because MySQL wasn't running. MySQL was failing to start because I had a missing /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d/ directory.

This was being required by my /usr/local/etc/my.cnf config file as a glob include (include /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d/*.cnf).

Running mkdir /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d, and then starting MySQL, fixed the issue.

Answer 3

In my case I had to remove the bootstrap/cache folder and try it again.

My cenario was after a server migration.

Answer 4

It worked after I change from DB_HOST=localhost to DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 at .env file

Answer 5

I had this problems when I was running my application using docker containers.

The solution was put the name of the MySQL service container I was using in docker_compose.yml on DB_HOST. In my case, it was db :

DB_HOST=db

Hope it helps.

When using a VirtualMachine make sure you ssh into that machine and navigate to your App folder and call the php artisan migrate command from there.
