I'm new to Laravel and I'm trying to fix next issue for 2 days. I want to create database and migration in it. In my database.php: 'mysql' => [ 'driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'), 'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'), 'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'news'), 'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'), 'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''), 'charset' => 'utf8mb4', 'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', 'strict' => true, 'engine' => null, ],

In my .env:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=news DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=''

But while php artisan migrate:install OR php artisan migrate I recieve: [PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'news'

What is more, that I'm able to create migration by using: php artisan make:migration create_users_tab

Questions: 1- How to administrate database throught (PhpMyAdmin) - like in appache??-doesn't work 2 - How to add database? 3 - Should Laravel Project Folder be placed in Apache www Folder?

THANKS IN ADVANCE, I'm new to Laravel
