I am having some errors with laravels php artisan migrate command, when I try to migrate, it keeps throwing errors saying, unknown database 'database name'
I have checked my database configure file and even copied to a different project and it works perfectly there, I have tried composer dump-autoload command but that didn't solve the problem either. Please I will really appreciate if someone helps, since this is a new project and can't afford to lose even a minute to my deadline, thanks in advance!
The command I run from the terminal while I have CD'ed into the project folder is.
php artisan migrate
This is the error I get.
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42000] [1049] Unknown database '[gicfamily4]'
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42000] [1049] Unknown database '[gicfamily4]'
This is a MySQL error and is indicative of either a misconfiguration in your environment's database.php config file (misspelling in the database name) or the database gicfamily4 simply doesn't exist on the database server you are connecting to.
Verify your connection information again. If possible, try to attempt to connect to the mysql server from the command line using the exact same information contained in your database.php file (via copy and paste):
$ mysql -u <username from database.php file> -p -h <database host from database.phpfile>
Enter Password: <paste password from database.php file>
mysql> use gicfamily4;
I suspect you will get the exact same error as above.

I am building a basic CRUD app using Laravel 7 Homestead in a Vagrant VM. The root address http://crud-app.local.test works, but when I add a defined route (http://crud-app.local.test/cats) I get this error page:
Error message in browser when navigating to '/cats' route.
So far I have:
Verified my MySQL password matches in the .env file and in practice
Changed the MYSQL password so that it's no longer empty (and made sure it matches what's in the .env file)
Ran php artisan config:cache
Ran php artisan config:clear followed by php artisan cache:clear
Changed 127.0.0.1 to localhost
Made sure the database defined in the .env file exists (crud)
Ran php artisan migrate (no errors, and the cats table exists in the crud database)
Restarted and re-provisioned the machine (vagrant reload --provision)
I'm at a loss now.
Make sure that you give "root" permissions to read from the database that you've created. As it's root#localhost rather than root#127.0.0.1 sometimes mysql differentiates. Just check the permissions that root#localhost has for the database and if you update them, flush the privileges.
I am admittedly new to Laravel and back end development but I'm trying to open a Laravel project in my browser and am receiving an error message instead. I'm inheriting this project from a client who was working with another group of developers and they have since gone AWOL so I'm on my own to try to figure out what the issue is here.
The first error messages were:
**Warning:** require(C:\xampp\htdocs\vizzue\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in **C:\xampp\htdocs\vizzue\bootstrap\autoload.php** on line **17**
**Fatal error:** require():Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\vizzue\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in **C:\xampp\htdocs\vizzue\bootstrap\autoload.php** on line **17**
To try to fix that error (from a solution I found on here), I ran composer install in the terminal to try to download the missing files. That switched the previous error messages to Whoops, looks like something went wrong. (Not very helpful).
So then I found more advice on here to get more detailed errors for my problem and was outputted a long list of errors under four separate headings.
Heading 1
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'#'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from `sessions` where `id` = hA02gV6ShpNslkw0N8Wrgm8QmyA0ZxoXfCNHsVTK limit 1)
Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4
PDOException

My PHP version is: PHP 7.2.28
My Laravel version is: Laravel Framework 5.4.36
Also, I have created a .env by copying the .env-example file.
EDIT:
I found the database information inside of the database/migrations directory so I actually DO have the database files. I'm still having an error, however. I ran php artisan generate:key and that was fine. But when I ran php artisan migrate I got the following error:
In Connection.php line 647:
could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where ta
ble_schema = homestead and table_name = migrations)
In Connector.php line 68:
could not find driver
first you have change the name of .env.example to .env then configure your database names settings in it. after that run composer install to install your project dependencies. make sure your webserver is up and running
You should configure your .env file to enable laravel access on your database. If you don't have one just copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env.
And then change the following properties:
DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
DB_USERNAME=USER_NAME
DB_PASSWORD=PASSWORD
and then you should run php artisan key:generate to generate a new encryption key
EDIT
For your new problem you should run composer update and then composer require doctrine/dbal
if that does not work
You might need to comment out the following in your php.ini file.
;extension=pdo_mysql.so
As said here
Here is the basic installation process for a laravel project. I'll try to explain each of them so that you'll be able to figure out your mistakes on your own.
Getting the source code
You first need to get the source code of your app . Most of the time it's done via git . For instance , you'll need to type git clone https://github.com/miracuthbert/saas-boilerplate.git yoursaasproject to clone the repository hosted on github here
Install dependencies
Go to the root of the directory of the source code you previously got by typing
cd projectname.
The laravel framework uses composer as its dependencies manager. So you need to install it . (What you already did)
Then, from the root of your project, type the following intructions in the same order :
composer install
composer update
Environment configuration
The environment variables of the laravel framework are managed through a dot env file. An example file named .env.example is generally provided. You'll find it at the root of your project's folder. Assuming you are using a terminal with a bash prompt, type the following command to copy the .env.example to a .env file :
cp .env.example .env
After getting your new .env file, type
php artisan key:generate
to generate secure key in your .env file
Depending on the type of database management system you intend to use, here are some specific configurations to add in your .env file :
MySQL
If you choose MySQL as your DBMS, set the following values in your .env file :
DB_CONNECTION
DB_DATABASE
DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD
homestead is the default DB_USERNAME and localhost is the default database host. Localhost is totally fine for working locally but you need to change your DB_USERNAME to an actual user of your DBMS with the corresponding password.
Sqlite
If you use sqlite, create a new sqlite database by typing :
`touch database/database.sqlite`
After setting up your database, enter the following command to create and populate tables :
php artisan migrate --seed
You may also need to edit other variables in the .env. The official laravel documentation is your best companion for that.
This is to the best of my knowledge what you need to do.
As for the driver error, here are few potential solutions adapted from an answer to a similar problem question asked here :
Be sure to configure the 'default' key in app/config/database.php
For mysql, this would be 'default' => 'mysql',
If you are receiving a [PDOException] could not find driver error, check to see if you have the correct PHP extensions installed. You need pdo_mysql.so and mysql.so installed and enabled. Instructions on how to do this vary between operating systems.
For Windows, the mysql extensions should come pre-downloaded with the official PHP distribution. Just edit your php.ini and uncomment the lines extension=pdo_mysql.so and extension=mysql.so
Also, in php.ini, make sure extension_dir is set to the proper directory. It should be a folder called extensions or ext or similar inside your PHP install directory.
There are other instructions given in the original answer but I'm only recommending those I understand. It was initially written for a postgres dbms.
If there are still problems, take a look at laragon. It's a bit like xamp (that you appear to be using on windows OS), but more powerful and easier to use.
The main backend languages and frameworks can be set up easily in few minutes. That includes php with laravel/symfony, ruby and Ruby on Rails, python and Django.
It allows you to manage multiple versions of the same programming language without any hassle and is fully extendable.
If you're new to Laravel or backend development, and working on the windows operating system, this is a must have.
I transferred a Laravel project based on moving Laravel project between computers
Everything was fine at the first look. I could install the composer without any problems, then I set my environmental variables in my .env such as database name, database user and so on.
When I started using the following command,
php artisan cache: clear
I got these two errors,
In Connection.php line 664:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Acess denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: Yes) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where tabale_schema = *** and table_name = ****)
In Connector.php line 67:
SQLSTATE [HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: Yes)
Further Information:
It seems .env has not been read by the application because when I browse the homepage of the app, I got Whoops error which shows environmental variable is empty.
I tested my database connection such as its username, password, and other parameters, I know they are working properly.
In the end, I attached a photo in order to elaborate on the issue.
Interestingly, in my .env file, DB_DATABASE value is "nlp" and DB_USERNAME equals "Javad" but as you can see in the errors, they are not working, and the Artisan assumes the root as the user!
After you move a Laravel project to another location, The first thing you have to do is regenerate APP_KEY in the .env file by running the command from your application root directory:
php artisan key:generate
After that, you reconfigure your cache:
php artisan config:cache
Additionally, make sure all your database parameters in your .env file and config/database.php are correct and the same as your previous Laravel setup - You can change them manually and then reconfigure your cache as shown above. If not (for instance, the database name is changed), you may have to rerun your database migrations and seeders again:
php artisan migrate
and
php artisan db:seed
I think the configuration files are not writable by the apache user, considering you are using apache. Make sure you have given write permission to bootstrap/cache for the user. This directory contains the cached configuration files.If that is the case the congratulations will be loaded from here and your previously used configuration will be loaded which may be causing the issue.
Also you need to give write permission to the storage directory too. As there is the log file and apache user needs to write on that too.
Step 1: Go to the project path project_name\bootstrap\cache folder and remove the marked file config.php from the mentioned folder.
Step 2: Run the following command
composer dump-autoload
php artisan clear-compiled
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
I hope that it will work now!
Open the .env file and edit it. Just set up correct DB credentials:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE= // Your Database Name
DB_USERNAME= // Your Database Username, If no username has been set then by default there is a root as a username
DB_PASSWORD= // Your Database Password, If no password is set on the database, clear it
After completion of .env edit please enter this command in your terminal for clear cache:
php artisan config:cache
If there is still the same error then try another possible solution.
I had also face the same problem, I tried all the possible answers in StackOverflow but nothing could help me, this solution worked on the first try:
If you are using the PHP's default web server (eg. php artisan serve) you need to restart your server after changing your .env file values.
I found this solution from here laravel.io (Read the solution of Byjml)
After the database has moved to a different server and a different schema name, I updated the .env file and when entering php artisan config:cache it writes the error message
"SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'OLD_DB'" - (OLD_DB refers to
the database name before the change).
I don't know why it still looks for the old name as if I didn't update the .env file. I also tried to write php artisan cache:clear and even just php artisan alone and received this error. Also composer update did not help - in the end it tries to run #php artisan package:discover.
Eventually I managed to solve the problem by clearing the cache:
rm -f bootstrap/cache/*
This allowed me to (finally) run:
php artisan config:clear
and the new configuration was on the air.
When I try to use 'php artisan migrate' in Laravel I get 2 errors:
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException] SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 26 file is encrypted or is not a database (SQL: select * from sqlite_master where type = 'table' and name = migrations)
[PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 26 file is encrypted or is not a database
I created a storage/database.sqlite file before attempting the migration. I also edited the config/database.php, making the default=sqlite. I am using windows and have sqlite3 installed.
Has anyone encountered this/know how to get past it?
I had the same results, in my case the /database/database.sqlite file was not empty.
I deleted the contents reran
php artisan migrate and the migration table was created successfully.
Running Laravel in Windows under the Powershell console I was getting the same errors as the original poster. The documentation reads After creating a new SQLite database using a command such as touch database/database.sqlite... The Powershell equivalent of touch is typically Out-File FILENAME
PS D:\Learning\PHP-Laravel\database> out-file database.sqlite
PS D:\Learning\PHP-Laravel> php artisan migrate
Illuminate\Database\QueryException : SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 26 file is not a database...
When creating my database.sqlite file I received these errors. I deleted the database and recreated it using the New-Item command and it worked properly
new-item -ItemType File -Name database.sqlite
PS D:\Learning\PHP-Laravel> php artisan migrate
Migration table created successfully.
Check the file you made as .sqlite and make sure it is empty if not then make it empty
database/db.sqlite
then run migration
If somebody came here with the same error with manually created table in sqlite db - it could be the sqlite version mismatch. I solved the same error by emptying db file and recreate the table with getConnection()->statement('CREATE TABLE
check if your .sqlite file is empty and the is no indentation(no spaces)
