Laravel - unable to migrate DB - laravel

Question

Im learning laravel, and now im unable to migrate the database. I have already created the db in phpmyadmin, have read the documentation and made a research on the net about the issue. However, when i make migrate, it keeps sending the same message:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1005 Can't create table `YYYY`.`#sql-269c_1c1` (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed") (SQL: alter table ` cars` add constraint `cars_company_id_foreign` foreign key (`Company_id`) references `companies` (`id`) on delete cascade on update cascade)
This is the code:
2014_10_12_000000_create_cars_table
Schema::create('cars', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('Company_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('Company_id')->references('id')->on('companies')->onDelete('cascade')->onUpdate('cascade');
$table->string('Model');
});
2014_10_12_000000_create_companies_table
Schema::create('companies', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('Company');
});

Answer 1

Laravel tries to run your migrations in order of 1) time, 2) alphabet. Since you gave both of your migrations the same time, it's going by alphabetical order instead.
What this means in practice is that you're trying to create the cars table first, with a foreign key constraint pointing to a table companies - but this table does not yet exist, since it's going to be created in the next migration.
Name your migrations properly and it should resolve itself. :)

Answer 2

Yea as Joel Said be careful on migration naming convention.
To avoid these errors you can use migration commands
step1
Run below from command line
php artisan make:migration create_companies_table
step2
This will make blank migration schema in your database and then edit it like below
Schema::create('companies', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('Company');
});
step 3
Run below from command line
php artisan make:migration create_companies_table
step 4
This will make blank migration schema in your database and then edit it like below
Schema::create('cars', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('Company_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('Company_id')->references('id')->on('companies')->onDelete('cascade')->onUpdate('cascade');
$table->string('Model');
});
