[Solved] SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1824 Failed to open the referenced table (alter on Foreign key)

Laravel

Hello everyone, 

I am facing an issue with my table migration I am getting a weird error while running 

php artisan migrate:fresh

The error is 

 SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1824 Failed to open the referenced table 'blog' (SQL: alter table `blog_comments` add constraint `blog_comments_postid_foreign` foreign key (`postID`) references `blog` (`id`) on delete cascade) at C:\laravel\wp4world\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connection.php:671 667| // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error 668| // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a 669| // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors. 670| catch (Exception $e) { > 671| throw new QueryException( 672| $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e 673| ); 674| } 675|

Here is the migration file 

<?phpuse Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;class CreateBlogsTable extends Migration{ /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up(){ Schema::create('blog', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->bigIncrements('id'); $table->string('title'); $table->string('post_url'); $table->string('img_path')->nullable(); $table->longtext('content'); $table->string('tags'); $table->string('status')->default(0); $table->string('public_date', 30); $table->unsignedBigInteger('ownerID'); $table->foreign('ownerID')->references('id')->on('admins')->onDelete('cascade'); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::dropIfExists('blog'); }}

Does anyone know what is the issue about? I had checked everything and there is no error or any missing thing?
Thank you in advance

Hello Joseph, 
As I see that your code is missing the InnoDB command to set the engine of the database to use ‘InnoDB’, please add this line in the up function 

<?php $table->engine = 'InnoDB';?>

so it supposes to look like this 

<?php public function up(){ Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->engine = 'InnoDB';//Add this line $table->bigIncrements('id'); $table->string('title'); $table->string('post_url'); $table->string('img_path')->nullable(); $table->longtext('content'); $table->string('caption', 400); $table->string('tags'); $table->integer('views')->default(0); $table->integer('likes')->default(0); $table->string('video_iframe')->nullable(); $table->string('status')->default(0); $table->string('public_date', 30); $table->unsignedBigInteger('ownerID'); $table->foreign('ownerID')->references('id')->on('admins')->onDelete('cascade'); $table->timestamps(); }); }?>

Good Luck :)
