Laravel 5.0: Migration Refresh Error

Question

I am an absolute beginner of laravel.

I would like to make some changes in my database. but when I try to refresh my databases, I keep dealing with the error below.

Before making this post, I googled so much and read many references. However, none of that worked and helped me solve the error.

Has anyone encountered this error before? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

run

composer dump-autoload

inside project, before running artisan

Add www-data group and write permission to the folder /storage/logs/. error is about writing permission of the log file. need to change permission of /storage/logs/. then only the real error will be seen

sudo chmod -R 777 storage

would help change permission
