1) go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin .

2) create a new table called job for example 

3) go to .env file in your laravel project then change these lignes:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql  

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1. 

DB_PORT=3306    

DB_DATABASE=name_of_database // => name should be exact as the table name you created .. in our example its job 

DB_USERNAME=root         

DB_PASSWORD=choose_your_password         

​

​

// config/database.php

​

'connections' => [

    'mysql' => [

        'driver' => 'mysql',

        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),

//// migrate session table

​

php artisan session:table

php artisan migrate --database=mysql2
