NB Running the website in Homestead virtual machine, but developing in the local environment, so must migrate database changes to the virtual machine:

putty 192.168.10.10

(vagrant@192.168.10.10's password: vagrant)

Or:

cd /Users/brianetheridge/Homestead
vagrant ssh

Run MySQL:

mysql -uroot -psecret

Or:

mysql -ubee_laravel_v2 -pDandoobly9

(root directory for the vagrant box is /home/vagrant)

===================================================================================== The second incarnation of my website in the Laravel PHP Framework

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax.

Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as:

authentication, routing, sessions, queueing, and caching.

Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing powerful tools needed for large, robust applications. A superb inversion of control container, expressive migration system, and tightly integrated unit testing support give you the tools you need to build any application with which you are tasked.

I am using this wonderful framework to write a website for myself. This is the 4th or 5th incarnation of my website (I am not sure), and it is going to be the best one to date.

Official Documentation for Laravel

Documentation for the framework can be found on the Laravel website.

##How to install:

• Step 1: Get the code
• Step 2: Use Composer to install dependencies
• Step 3: Create database
• Step 4: Install
• Step 5: Start Page

https://github.com/mrakodol/Laravel-5-Bootstrap-3-Starter-Site/archive/master.zip

Extract it in www(or htdocs if you using XAMPP) folder and put it for example in laravel5startersite folder.

Laravel utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. First, download a copy of the composer.phar.

Once you have the PHAR archive, you can either keep it in your local project directory or move to usr/local/bin to use it globally on your system. On Windows, you can use the Composer Windows installer.

Then run:

composer install

to install dependencies Laravel and other packages.

If you finished first three steps, now you can create database on your database server(MySQL). You must create database with utf-8 collation(uft8_general_ci), to install and application work perfectly. After that, copy .env.example and rename it as .env and put connection and change default database connection name, only database connection, put name database, database username and password.

Firstable need to uncomment this line "extension=php_fileinfo.dll" in php.info file.

This project makes use of Bower and Laravel Elixir. Before triggering Elixir, you must first ensure that Node.js (included in homestead) is installed on your machine.

node -v

Install dependencies listed in package.json with:

npm install

Retrieve frontend dependencies with Bower, compile SASS, and move frontend files into place:

gulp

Now that you have the environment configured, you need to create a database configuration for it. For create database tables use this command:

php artisan migrate

And to initial populate database use this:

php artisan db:seed

If you install on your localhost in folder laravel5startersite, you can type on web browser:

http://localhost/laravel5startersite/public

You can now login to admin part of Laravel Framework 5 Bootstrap 3 Starter Site:

username: admin@admin.com
password: admin

OR user

username: user@user.com
password: user

php artisan key:generate

composer dump-autoload --optimize

OR

php artisan dump-autoload
