I have Laravel installed on a VPS. I connecting to it with my computer via SSH.
The “php artisan migrate” command returns this error:
IlluminateDatabaseQueryException
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = laravel and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')

667| // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
668| // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
669| // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.

Do both of these make sense? Should I be using localhost? Both Redis and Laravel are on the same server. I’ve tried the usual that have helped people, like the commands:
php artisan config:cache
php artisan cache:clear

run
php artisan config:clear
notconfig:cache
orcache:clear
then
php artisan migrate:install
Many other things are to be checked:
If the mysql container has beend started with the right dataset. Mine .sql script (under volume-mapping) was empty. As VSCode keeps this empty if you don’t save the script.
You can also login into the container using: docker-compose exec container-name, to check if the init database files are there.
After that, try to establish a connnection to mysql for example using command line: mysql -u username -D database -p. Check if the data is there. Try the query above if it returns anything.
After fixing all this. Another thing to check is the variable DB_HOST inside .env file. Mine were:
then changed to:
Last but not least, is the following docker-compose commands, which has been found very helpful (app is your-container-name or app-name):
Hope this would help someone in the same situation!
