# Solution to 1071:Specified key was too long problem in Laravel.

Hi there,
If you encountered this error message on laravel

```php
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long;
``` 
Then here's a quick fix,
All you have to do is to add the following code in the 
> app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php.


```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

public function boot()
    {
        Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
    }
``` 
Now run a fresh migration with 

```php
php artisan migrate:fresh
``` 
This will solve the problem.

Happy Coding.
