Database not configured laravel during migration

Question

This might be repeated question. But I had no luck with previous answers

I just git clone a laravel project. Now I tried to do php artisan migrate

Answer 1

I had the same problem, turns out the .env that shipped with the framework defaulted the DB_HOST to localhost and had DB_PORT set.

Changed the host to the FQDN of the machine and it worked fine. I'm guessingif you're connecting to localhost it expects a socket and not a port.
