The error message SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146<\/code> indicates that Laravel is trying to access a database table called sessions<\/code> that doesn\u2019t seem to be present in the specified database cloud18i_dbpethu<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Laravel, the sessions<\/code> table is used when you are storing session data in the database. By default, Laravel uses file-based session storage, but it can be configured to use database storage for better scalability and sharing sessions across multiple instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagnosing the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In your case, it seems that your application\u2019s session driver was changed from file<\/code> to database<\/code> in the .env<\/code> configuration file. When this change was made, Laravel attempted to store session data in the database, which led to the error because the sessions<\/code> table did not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a closer look at what might have gone wrong:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Missing Table<\/strong>: If the sessions<\/code> table does not exist, Laravel will throw an error when trying to access it. This is likely what happened in your case.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To resolve this issue, you have two main options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Revert to File-Based Sessions<\/strong>If you do not need to store sessions in the database, you can revert to the default file-based session storage. To do this, follow these steps:\n
