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'),
        ]) : [],
    ],

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

在Laravel 5中，数据库用户名和密码保存在项目目录中的.env文件中，例如。

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=db1
DB_USERNAME=user1
DB_PASSWORD=pass1

正如你所看到的，这些环境变量覆盖了这里的“forge”字符串，所以改变它们没有任何影响:

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

如果有人还在寻找答案，只要检查你的。env文件。出于某种原因，laravel创建了一个。env。示例文件，所以所有这些答案都不适合我。我修复了重命名。env的问题。.env的示例

我遇到了同样的问题，我运行的是Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite。我已经启用了操作系统自带的Apache服务器和PHP。然后，我刚刚配置了mCrypt库开始。在那之后，当我使用模型和DB时，我得到了一个错误:

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

我发现的原因只是因为PHP和MySQL不能自己连接。 为了解决这个问题，我遵循以下步骤:

Open a terminal and connect to the mysql with: mysql -u root -p It will ask you for the related password. Then once you get the mysql promt type the next command: mysql> show variables like '%sock%' You will get something like this: +-----------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +-----------------------------------------+-----------------+ | performance_schema_max_socket_classes | 10 | | performance_schema_max_socket_instances | 322 | | socket | /tmp/mysql.sock | +-----------------------------------------+-----------------+ Keep the value of the last row: /tmp/mysql.sock In your laravel project folder, look for the database.php file there is where you configure the DB connection parameters. In the mysql section add the next line at the end: 'unix_socket' => '/tmp/mysql.sock' You must have something like this: 'mysql' => array( 'driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'SchoolBoard', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => 'venturaa', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', 'unix_socket' => '/tmp/mysql.sock', ),

现在只需保存更改，并重新加载页面，它必须工作!

我的答案是针对Laravel的。

在database.php配置文件中创建到本地Docker MySQL服务的新连接并将其设置为默认连接后，我收到了这条消息。我忘记了我通过在模型中覆盖它来设置一个不同的连接:

class Model extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
{
    protected $connection;

    public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
    {
        parent::__construct($attributes);
        $this->connection = 'some_other_connection';
    }
...

因此，即使我在database.php文件中的默认连接指向正确的凭据，模型仍然使用我从本地环境文件中删除的远程数据库连接配置。
