Laravel SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database + PHP artisan migrate - php

Question

I have setup Laravel before and I have never encountered a Database unknown issue. I am trying to install the default Laravel migration on a new project.
I have already created the database on my server.
I am using MAMP Apache port:80 MYSQL Port: 3306
My env setup looks like this:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=thevinesa
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=******
When I try to use PHP artisan migrate; I get an error of database unknown
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'thevinesa' (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = thevinesa and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE') at vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connection.php:703
699▕ // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
700▕ // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
701▕ // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.
702▕ catch (Exception $e) {
703▕ throw new QueryException(
704▕ $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
705▕ );

Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel::handle(Object(Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput), Object(Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput))
How can I solve this error

Answer 1

Step 1:
Fire this command inside your project
php artisan optimize:clear
Step 2:
Then start project if in local:
php artisan serve
Database is then connected.

Suggestion from #ThandoHlophe

I found the issue, so my ~bash directory had the incorrect $PATH, I updated the $PATH and I was able to sort out the issue
It's an simple error, you still did't created your database in mysql or phpmyadmin named thevinesa
DB_DATABASE=thevinesa
Laravel try to find out the database name thevinesa to connect but they didn't find and database named thevinesa . Try to create database.
Then migrate.
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan migrate
command related to database
migrate:fresh Drop all tables and re-run all migrations
migrate:install Create the migration repository
migrate:refresh Reset and re-run all migrations
migrate:reset Rollback all database migrations
migrate:rollback Rollback the last database migration
migrate:status Show the status of each migratioin
Or
Laravel can't connect to your database.
Go to Storage->logs->laravel.log file you will find your error
or you can use php artisan migrate -v if you are in linux . It will show the error details.
And did you create that database?
Check if you have a file bootstrap\cache\config.php. If so remove it.
I didn't find any pdoException Error but If you changed the
`config->database.php` file
Here is my config->databse.php try to compare these
This code taken from Laravel Framework 7.30.4, It might be different but you can have a basic idea.
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'prefix_indexes' => true,
'strict' => true,
'engine' => null,
'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
]) : [],
],
If you want to check you version
php artisan -v
May be error will happens by artisan. For now this is my artisan from Laravel Framework 7.30.4 and php 7.2 look it if you didn't find anything suspecious, didn't change your artisan file take a copy oe backup. And soon as possible show me your error log.
#!/usr/bin/env php

If you're on a MAC using MAMP, adding this to my .env file worked for me
DB_SOCKET=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
