I have created the database.sqlite file and I can access it via the SQLite comandline. However when running the migrate command I get:
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [14] unable to open de database file.
Can anyone help me out? I'm using Windows 8 as my main Operating System.
If the permissions allow to write on the folder just create the storage folders.
Note: If you are on Windows Os, just use git bash to use linux terminal command, a better approach to use terminal and to prevent windows prompt command restriction for developper.
e-g, this how I fix the problem.
in config/database.php :
'connections' => [
'sqlite' => [
'driver' => 'sqlite',
'database' => storage_path('database/databaseName.sqlite'),
'prefix' => '',
],
Then if you run on your terminal php artisan migrate, it returns you the [PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [14] unable to open database file
Create the path folder by your own, e-g in your terminal mkdir storage/database/databaseName.sqlite
Make sure the permissions allow you to write, then re-run the command php artisan migrate, it returns you the success message : Migration table created successfully.
This is as a result name conflict you have to change the name of the database in .env file found in the root folder
DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
and note the file extension of your database (.sqlite)
