[SOLVED] Illuminate\Database\QueryException : SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1115 Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4' (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = laravel_blog and table_name = migrations)

Hal ini disebabkan karena perbedaan character set yang digunakan antara database (Mysql) dengan setting pada Laravel.

Solusi:

buka file config\database.php

pada bagian connection, ubah:

        'mysql' => [
...
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
...
        ],

menjadi

        'mysql' => [
...
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
...
        ],
