Laravel 5.1 - make migrations not making any tables in the MySQL - php

Question

I am not seeing any tables apart from Users table created in MySQL DB while using Laravel migrations. I have followed the steps given below
Laravel version : 5.1
1) set timezone to Asia/Kolkata
2) Added following files into Apps/Model
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateCardsTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('cards', function(Blueprint $table){
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->string('pin', 10);
$table->string('location',256);
$table->datetime('daterequested');
$table->datetime('datefulfilled');
$table->integer('hitcount');
$table->integer('fulfilledby');
$table->timestamps();
$table->softDeletes();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::drop('Cards');
}
}
3) Ran the command
php artisan make:migration create_cards_table
It displayed the message 'Created migration'
4) Ran the command php artisan migrate
5) No table is created in MySQL.
FYI, The only db configuration i made is in .env file . I haven't added anything to database.php in config directory (even though i edited username other db related information in the mysql array to match my own credentials)
Please let me know what am i doing wrong here.

First you need to create the migration file this way
php artisan make:migration create_cards_table
it will create a file prepended with date inside database->migrations folder.
Edit that file the way you have done but remember it is not Cards but cards in the delete down function. Also remember in dateTime T is in capital. It is case sensitive. Finally you will have this code
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateCardsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
//
Schema::create('cards', function(Blueprint $table)
{
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->string('pin', 10);
$table->string('location',256);
$table->dateTime('daterequested');
$table->dateTime('datefulfilled');
$table->integer('hitcount');
$table->integer('fulfilledby');
$table->timestamps();
$table->softDeletes();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
//
Schema::drop('cards');
}
}
