"laravel new" Error

So I'm trying to create a new laravel app, and am getting the following error:

Crafting application...



  [Guzzle\Http\Exception\CurlException]

new name

Any ideas what might be happening? Is anyone else seeing this?

Had the same issue today. Looks like the server (192.241.224.13) is down. I suppose it's only temporarily. You can use the "composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist" till it's up again.

P.S. That composer-block I copied from the official documentation, shouldn't there be a projectname between laravel/laravel and --prefer-distcomposer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist?

Thanks for that command. I tried it, but it kept downloading Laravel 4.2.0. So I manually downloaded the files, then ran composer install. :)

And yes, you're right: the project name is missing in the documentation. :)

I have the same issue, there is something related to the new release about Laravel 4.3? I tried the options about --prefer-dist and it worked for me.

I guess it's coming back or it cost too much to host (with bandwidth on DigitalOcean) :P Use the composer way for now
