it means that table already exists in the db. are you running a migration ?

Thanks for the answer, I'm trying to run a migration, as shown in the Basic Tasks List: https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/quickstart.

mysql> create database forge; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> Bye [root@localhost project]# php artisan migrate

• Application In Production!     *
  

Do you really wish to run this command? yes Migration table created successfully.

[Illuminate\Database\QueryException] SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'tasks' alre ady exists (SQL: create table tasks (id int unsigned not null auto_incr ement primary key, name varchar(255) not null, created_at timestamp def ault 0 not null, updated_at timestamp default 0 not null) default charact er set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci)

migrate [--bench [BENCH]] [--database [DATABASE]] [--force] [--path [PATH]] [--package [PACKAGE]] [--pretend] [--seed]

Hope this helps
