Are you setting in .env file?

[juliusvdijk]

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your details.

I get the error
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

Make sure your database credentials work.

@jamnab make sure to run MySQL service, create a database and assign the right permission to the user that is specified under .env file

I'm going to close this issue to clean up the list. Feel free to continue discussing here though.

I solved it by just entering the default values for mysql:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=mysql
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=''

Might be worthwhile to use these defaults settings in the wiki for easier setup.
