PDOException  : SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away

Here is my .env file :

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=8080
DB_DATABASE=sample_server
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Here is my database.php :

'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
'connections' => [

    'sqlite' => [
        'driver' => 'sqlite',
        'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')),
        'prefix' => '',
        'foreign_key_constraints' => env('DB_FOREIGN_KEYS', true),
    ],

    'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '8080'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forcity_server'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'prefix_indexes' => true,
        'strict' => true,
        'engine' => null,
        'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
            PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
        ]) : [],
    ]

I tried to find solution and got solution from here but still it's not working. I applied same on local database.

Are you sure your Mysql runs on port 8080 thats usually an alternative port to run Nginx — mrhn, Oct 16 '19 at 16:21

I updated to laravel 6, so I updated PHP because laravel 6 uses 7.2+ by default there wasn't php.ini and when generated, extension was off so I tried migration too and found out this

Check php.ini, there is one row

;extension=pdo_mysql

make it

extension=pdo_mysql

save and restart apache
