Database not configured laravel during migration

Question

This might be repeated question. But I had no luck with previous answers

I just git clone a laravel project. Now I tried to do php artisan migrate

Answer 1

Another solution which worked is to cache config: php artisan config:cache like here

Answer 2

Just remove .env file and put new to replace

Answer 3

I had the same issue. I have cloned the L5.1 project from GIT and i performed

composer install 
composer update 

and also configured DB details in .env (by default .env is not present so i took the copy of .env.example and renamed as .env). After that if tried to run

 php artisan migrate

I got the same exception like as @users4393829 mentioned. I tried follow commands to find and set the database.

 php artisan tinker
 >>> Config::get('database.connections.mysql.database');
 >>>null
 >>>Config::set('database.connections.mysql.database','homesteaed');
 >>>Config::get('database.connections.mysql.database');
 >>>homesteaed

After doing all this things i found that there is no database.php file so i have placed it in the 'config' folder and ran the migration it works. Please make sure that you have any config files is git ignored in your project.

Answer 4

I had the same problem, turns out the .env that shipped with the framework defaulted the DB_HOST to localhost and had DB_PORT set.

Changed the host to the FQDN of the machine and it worked fine. I'm guessingif you're connecting to localhost it expects a socket and not a port.
