artisan migrate error

I'm getting this error when executing this command:

php artisan migrate

 Illuminate\Database\QueryException

Hello there @shadyslim2018 do make sure that you used the right credentials in the .env file to connect yo a database

https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/configuration this is a related document to help you

If you still encounter any issues do tell

[shadyslim2018]

Thank, I got all that working. Now it goes to 127.0.0.1/dashboard then it says

 The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again. 

I'm not too sure if it's a php config error. The default index.php does load.

Are you using xampp or the built in laravel Web server

[shadyslim2018]

laravel web server, i don't think the web server is working correctly.

[yungifez]

Can I see your .env file

[yungifez]

This is weird in laravel

You are sure that you are using php artisan serve?

[yungifez]

Hmm your issue is mostly found in xampp

If you installed it in the htdocs folder, instead of localhost/dashboard

Go to localhost/{foldername}/dashboard

I finally got Laravel working, now to try skuul

[yungifez]

Absolutely wonderful

Would work on proper documentation soon

[yungifez]

Although got rid of the route that page

Still wondering how you got there?

[shadyslim2018]

I had to run

sudo php artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=91

BTW it looks fantastic, I've sent a few screenshots to one of the school.
