Migrate failing in laravel 4.2.* - php

Question

I'm trying to write a simple REST API for laravel 4.2. Here is my code:
This is the command to generate two tables:
php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --table=users --create
php artisan migrate:make create_urls_table --table=urls --create
Then I added this code in up section of create_users_table.php:
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('username')->unique();
$table->string('password');
$table->timestamps();
I added this code in up section of create_urls_table.php:
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id');
$table->string('url');
$table->string('description');
$table->timestamps();
My db configurations are like this:
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'read_it_later',
'username' => '<username>',
'password' => '<password>',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
Then I added this to UserTableSeeder.php in seeds folder in database folder:
<?php
class UserTableSeeder extends Seeder {
public function run()
{
DB::table('users')->delete();
User::create(array(
'username' => 'firstuser',
'password' => Hash::make('first_password')
));
User::create(array(
'username' => 'seconduser',
'password' => Hash::make('second_password')
));
}
}
Then I uncommented $this->call('UserTableSeeder') in DatabaseSeeder.php file.
Then I ran this command:
php artisan migrate
And I got the following error:
**************************************
* Application In Production! *
**************************************
Do you really wish to run this command? y
Migration table created successfully.
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'read_it_later.users' doesn't exist (SQL: alter table `users` add `id` int unsigned not
null auto_increment primary key, add `username` varchar(255) not null, add `password` varchar(255) not null, add `created_at` timestamp default 0
not null, add `updated_at` timestamp default 0 not null)

migrate [--bench[="..."]] [--database[="..."]] [--force] [--path[="..."]] [--package[="..."]] [--pretend] [--seed]
How can I fix this error?

Answer 1

I just found out that I was using wrong command to generate migration tables.
I used the following commands:
php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --create=users
php artisan migrate:make create_urls_table --create=urls
Then I added my code to those files and tried these commands:
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed
And it worked
