I am trying to deploy a Laravel project on an AWS instance. I followed this tutorial to get the web server and mysql setup:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html
Then installed composer , deployed the Laravel project on the instance ,changed some http configs and some other settings and got it working ,
Now I am trying to migrate my local database using , php artisan migrate
Every time I try though, I get :
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory
I tried some solutions in this question :PDOException SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory, but didn't succeed
Here is how my .env file looks like for database configs:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=<db end point>
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=projectFirst
DB_USERNAME=<userName>
DB_PASSWORD=<password>
