I'm following the laracasts video tutorial on using Envoyer with Forge, and got stuck on Adding a Server (1 minute into the first video). I have the IP address of the server from Forge, and have used all the defaults as instructed in the video:
Name: Forge Server IP: (as shown in my Forge dashboard) Port:22 Connect as: forge PHP 7.1 (Receive code deployments is left as setting of ticked) Project path: /home/forge/default
But when I click on Save Server it comes up with an error: "Whoops! There were some problems with your input." I'm obviously doing something stupid here, but there's no indication as to what? Thanks for any help.
I found the answer. There's a step that's in the wrong order in the Laravel > Envoyer tutorial video 1 (https://laracasts.com/series/envoyer/episodes/1).
You need to set up the web directory first before you add the server. Taylor Otwell explains the right order here: https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/using-envoyer-with-forge-servers-ee26991954f6
