I have specified the setup version and all in the modules etc/module.xml file. When i searched this error i got a link in that they are telling to run the following commands

php -f bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Module_Name
php -f bin/magento setup:upgrade

But when i tried to run the second command i am getting another error

 [PDOException] 
 SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

How can i solve my custom issue in my magento2 custom module Thanks in advance

• Marius: how does your module.xml look like?
• amesh: <?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Module/etc/module.xsd"> <module name="Sample_CustomControllers" setup_version="1.0.0"></module> </config> This is my module.xml file

I also came across to same problem several times. It seems your file looks right but can you recheck the error after giving permission to app/code/<VendorModule> folder.

For reference you can check the sample module provided by Magento Team Itself.
