I need your help again.
Is there a way to reset all configuration in MySQL?
Here's what happened. I previously have a project installed and this time I'm setting up a new one.
In this new project, I wanted to set it up with my a new database, new username I created and password. However, when I reached the point where I had to execute php artisan migrate, it keeps throwing me an error saying PDOException::("SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory")
If not that error, it's throwing connection refused instead.
Note: I'm using laradock.
Now, I'm at the point where I'd just rather reset the whole MySQL because I'm thinking it's conflicting with my previous configuration with my previous project.
As I searched online, I've tried the following: 1. Restarted server 2. Changed db_host from 127.0.0.1 to localhost and vice-versa 3. Added the project's directory to the dev environment setting 4. Docker-compose down and then up again 5. Even uninstalled and reinstalled docker itself
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=newdbname
DB_USERNAME=newusername
DB_PASSWORD=newpassword!
All I want is to be able to execute php artisan migrate using the new credentials I set.
If you really do not need any old data in database, you can just delete them & reset up a container:
# stop mysql service
docker-compose stop mysql
# delete old mysql database
rm -rf ~/.laradock/data/mysql
# resetup mysql container
docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
You can get the mysql database location according to docker-compose.yml & env-example:
docker-compose.yml:
volumes:
- ${DATA_PATH_HOST}/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
env-example:
DATA_PATH_HOST=~/.laradock/data
