PDOException SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

Question

I believe that I have successfully deployed my site( a basic one) to fortrabbit, but as soon as I connect to SSH to run some commands (such as php artisan migrate or php artisan db:seed) I get an error message:

[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

At some point the migration must have worked, because my tables are there - but this doesn't explain why it isn't working for me now. 

Answer 1

The error message indicates that the MySQL connection via socket is tried (which isn't supported).

In the context of Laravel (artisan), you almost certainly want to use a different / the correct environment. Eg: php artisan migrate --env=production (or whatever environment) check here.
