Asked by: Muhamed Ahmed

i tried to attach phpMyAdmin in my XAMPP server with my Laravel project and i failed , every time i make :

php artisan migrate

This error occurs:

[PDOException]                                    
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

• This is my .env file :

  DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
  DB_HOST=localhost
  DB_PORT=3306
  DB_DATABASE=laravel
  DB_USERNAME=root
  DB_PASSWORD=''
  

• This is my database.php file :

  'mysql' => [
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
      'database' => 'laravel',
      'username' => 'root',
      'password' => '',
      'unix_socket' =>  '/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock',
      'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
      'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
