Creating a database on Windows setup for Laravel
I have my server finally up and running, I can run various commands such as composer --version php -v and php artisan serve problem is I don't know how to set up the database, i find myself in a situation where I need to use a Windows Machine (not my first choice) and I know next to nothing about running a Laravel project, on the Mac I use Sequel Pro, what is the equivalent of this on Windows? Could I use a program like that here on Windows? Thank you

Already running @lemmon

from git bash cd into C:/wamp64/www
now you are in the server.
You can mv the project into the www folder or create a new project inside www
let me know when it is in there.

Level 28
create a project inside the www folder or move your project that you wan to use into the www folder.
Level 28
Click on the green icon and choose
Your VirtualHosts
then choose
VirtualHostManagement
that opens up Add a VirtualHost page in your browser
add the name of your project
Name of the Virtual Host No space - No underscore(_) Required
add the full path to the public folder in
Complete absolute path of the VirtualHost folder Examples: C:/wamp/www/projet/ or E:/www/site1/ Required
C:/wamp64/www/NameOfProject/public
let me know when you got that done
Level 12
add the full path to the public folder in
Where the Laravel project is? Or do I need to create a new folder in this directory, referencing the public folder/directory?
C:/wamp64/www/myproject/public
Level 28
You have to create a project or move an existing project into the www folder before you create a virtual host that points to it.
Level 28
let me know when you get the virtual host created. in wamp
Level 28
don't forget (I should have told you to) press the "Start the creation of the VirtualHost" button after you make the correct entries.
Level 28
once you have created the virtual host
right click on the green icon and choose tools then way at the top click on Restart DNS
Level 12
Ok, that is completed.
Level 28
Now open a browser and type the name of the virtual host that you used in the address bar followed by /
Level 28
type
in the address bar of the browser
now you should see your project opened up in the browser
Level 12
Yep I see this directory opened up in the browser now.
@lemmon what about the database? how do I set it up??
Level 28
Ok you should see the hompage, so that means you forgot to add public on the end of
C:/wamp64/www/myproject/
C:/wamp64/www/myproject/public
so now you have to edit it and then "Restart DNS"
Level 12
how
supress?
Level 28
Level 12
I see the project.
Level 28
You can add as many projects and as many virtual hosts as you want inside wamp.
there are database managemant tools inside the green icon.
Level 28
Do you know how to use phpmyadmin?
or a command prompt to create databases?
click on the green Icon and there you will find all the tools you need to create a database.
