Hi not sure, maybe you can check database connection,
Check with tinker
php artisan tinker
// then
DB::connection()->getPdo();
If you can't connect then you should check if you have a database installed or driver

"php artisan migrate" gives error
I am trying to run php artisan migrate after installing xampp and laravel on my ubuntu 20.4 on my desktop and i get this error
Illuminate\Database\QueryException
could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = estate and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')
at vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connection.php:671
667| // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
668| // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
669| // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.
670| catch (Exception $e) {
> 671| throw new QueryException(
672| $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
673| );
674| }

Make sure that the php<your version of php>-mysql is installed.

@monstajamss Looks like DB connection is failed. double-check it.

Like @tray2 said, make sure you have the extension installed.
apt list --installed | grep "php.*-mysql"
If not there, install it:
sudo apt install php-mysql
If you're missing this, you may be missing more.

For Ubuntu I suggest you use this guide
For nginX

For Apache

I had a similar problem. Only it was using "ddev". It turned out that mysql responds to a completely different IP instead of 127.0.0.1 or locahost.
-
console: ddev ssh
-
Login to mysql: mysql -y USERNAME -p
-
Runs this "SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(USER(), '@', -1) AS ip, @@hostname as hostname, @@port as port, DATABASE() as current_database;" It displays a table with data. The IP may not be the one to connect to. Must take is hostname.
-
ping "hostname" from the previous table. And then try to put the obtained IP in the .env file. Or "hostname". It also fits.
Now connection works.
