要添加到@alexventuraio的解决方案中，如果你在Laravel 5.8上遇到了这个问题，你可能想要替换数据库配置文件中'unix_socket'的值，如下:

 'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        // 'unix_socket' =>'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock',
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''), // replace with this line, so you can always add the mysqld.sock from the dotenv file
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'prefix_indexes' => true,
        'strict' => false,
        'engine' => null,
        'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
            PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
        ]) : [],
    ],

当使用VirtualMachine时，确保你ssh到那台机器，导航到你的App文件夹，并从那里调用php artisan migrate命令。

对于任何试图创建一个新的db连接而不是在laravel上，而是在这里寻找从终端运行PDO的答案的人。这对你有帮助。你可以重构它，使其最适合你。

<?php

class db
{
   private $DBHOST = 'localhost'; // you don't need 127.0.0.1
   private $DRIVER = 'mysql';
   private $PORT   = '8888'; // database port. 8888 is mine
   private $DB     = 'example-db';
   private $PASS   = 'example-pass';
   private $USER   = 'root';
   private $SOCKS  = ''; // can fill this or leave blank.


   // - connect (dummy connection)
   private function con()
   {
       if ($this->SOCKS == '')
       {
           // run shell command to get 
           $socks = shell_exec('netstat -ln | grep mysql');
           $socks = trim(substr($socks, strpos($socks, '/')));

           $this->SOCKS = strlen($socks) > 0 ? ';unix_socket='.$socks : '';
       }
       else
       {
          $this->SOCKS = ';unix_socket='.$this->SOCKS;
       }

       $dsn = $this->DRIVER.':host='.$this->DBHOST.';dbname='.$this->DB;

       // add socks
       $dsn .= $this->SOCKS;

       // add port
       $dsn .= (strlen($this->PORT) > 0) ? ';port='.$this->PORT : '';

       // extablish connection
       $con = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);

       // return PDO instance.
       return $con;
   }
   // - ends here

   // now you can call $this->con() within class to use connection 
   // would run fine on any terminal

} 

希望能有所帮助!

所有这些答案似乎都很沉重……

我刚刚创建了一个。env文件;编辑我的bootstrap/app.php文件，并取消注释下面的行…

(__DIR Dotenv:负载 __.'/../');

希望这对大家有所帮助

基于@dcarrith的回答…

我没有编辑配置文件，而是在PHP正在查找的位置中创建了一个别名，该别名连接到真正的mysql.sock。(源)

只需运行这两个命令(不需要重新启动):

mkdir /var/mysql
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

如果你使用Laravel Homestead， 这里是设置

(包括流浪者-虚拟机)

.bash-profile

alias vm="ssh vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222"

database.php

    'mysql' => [
        'driver'    => 'mysql',
        'host'      => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
        'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
        'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
        'charset'   => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'    => '',
        'strict'    => false,
    ],

终端

vm

vagrant@homestead:~/Code/projectFolder  php artisan migrate:install
