Question

I have a naked installation of the newsest Lumen version.

php artisan migrate

results in the following error:

@Maraboc I actually disagree. While the underlaying issue is the same, Lumen as a framework has a specific way of handling this. Nothing in that post addresses where in Lumen you would have to make that change. — Ohgodwhy, Aug 08 '16 at 18:42

Issue is less to due with Lumen and more to do with your environment. That specific PDO error indicates that your connection factory has a bad reference to the unix socket location.

Lumen is smart, however, and knows that this can be a problem. Open your database configuration and give it a default socket path:

'mysql' => [
     //....
     'unix_socket'   => '/Full/Path/To/mysql/mysql.sock',
]
