Laravel: How to fix the MySQL related "Specified key was too long error" error in Laravel
This is a common problem (especially if you use a local development environment such as XAMPP).
The error will look something like this:
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException] SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes [PDOException] SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
Luckily the fix is simple. Add the following to the boot() method of your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file:
- Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
