Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes laravel 8
Some Solution that worked for me: (Try running command after config:clear and
try migrate:fresh)
1. added default string length:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
public function boot()
{
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}
2. changing engine to 'InnoDB' inside /config/database.php
'mysql' => [
...,
...,
'engine' => 'InnoDB',
]
3. If still not solved try updating 'charset' and 'collation' inside
/config/database.php
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
to
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
