Laravel uses a configuration file called “database.php” to configure the database connection. If you are getting an error saying “database connection not configured”, it means you have not properly configured the database settings in that file.
The “database.php” file is located in the “config” directory of your Laravel project. Open that file and make sure you have provided the correct credentials for your database.
Here is an example of how the configuration settings should look in the “database.php” file:
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'your_database_name',
'username' => 'your_database_username',
'password' => 'your_database_password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
Make sure you replace “your_database_name”, “your_database_username”, and “your_database_password” with your actual database credentials.
Additionally, you can check if the database you are trying to connect to actually exists and if the database user has the necessary permissions to access that database.
