How are you sure that you're connected to the database?

To connect to the DB, I use SSH and linux command prompt to access the DB with username/password. The php artisan migrate:install created a table in the database called migrations.

Hosting company has installed pdo_mysql and enabled it. Now i have a different error: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes (SQL: alter table password_resets add index password_resets_email_index(email))

It sounds like you're on shared hosting. It's usually not advised to run Laravel on shared hosting.

You are right, I was doing a test, I will go for a dedicated server. Thanks, this topic can be closed.
