when run 'php artisan migrate' on terminal a

  [pdoexception]                                       sqlstate[hy000] [2002] no such file or directory 

my database connection credintels are: host is: 'localhost' db username is: 'root' db password is: ''

i have no tables in database, want run migration create table.

thanks in advance

as you're connecting localhost, pdo trying connect database using unix socket file doesn't exist. replace localhost 127.0.0.1 , connect database using tcp connection, should fix issue.
