Laravel on Windows (8.1)
Laravel on Windows (8.1)
- PHP 5.3.7 or higher - e.g. WampServer Version 2.2
- mCrypt must be present (usually is)
- openssl enabled in php.ini e.g. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.ini
- Install Composer -> https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe
- httpd.conf includes httpd-vhosts.conf
- Install Laravel in web root or web root subfolder:
"composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist" (--prefer-dist forces package download)
- Create Virtual Hosts - point to vhost directory ...\laravel\public (restart Apache)
- Update Windows Hosts file with appropriate hostname
- Remember to activate rewrite_module or you will get a lot of "File does not exist" in apache_error.log file - and possibly a few grey hairs ;-)
