Setting up Laravel on a Mac php artisan migrate error: No such file or directory [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you are using Laravle 5.1.11 version + MAC + MAMPP

you have to add "Unix_socket " in file "yourapp"/app/config/database.php

'mysql' => [
    'driver'    => 'mysql',
    'host'      => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
    'unix_socket'   => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock',
    'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
    'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
    'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
    'charset'   => 'utf8',
    'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
    'prefix'    => '',
    'strict'    => false,
],

Unix_socket param was added to above mysql config drive.
