The permissions on the storage and bootstrap folder is 755, also tried 777 but didn't work.

Why does my migrate command not work?

Answer 1

try

 chmod -R 777 storage

My guess is you didnt make it recursive

Answer 2

In our case, we had "#" in mysql user's password. that special character was not allowed. we changed the password and issue got resolved. :O
