.env DB_HOST causes problems (127.0.0.1 vs localhost)

What is your setup? Do you use Laravel Homestead or did you install PHP and the DB yourself?

Oh, sorry, forgot to say that: Im using homestead.

Are you sure that you have ssh'd in the VM when you run the artisan commands?

The default DB_HOST 'localhost' should work for both.

Do I have to be inside my vm to run those commands? I'm kind of confused. Which commands need to be ran in the VM and which don't? Because I think some commands work outside the vm (if you're in your project's folder).

But okay, I'll try it out later (I'm not on my computer right now). Thank you :)

Try 192.168.10.10 (homestead IP)

@Akeno all commands that make contact with the DB (or any other things installed on the VM) need to be run in the VM. Otherwise you can add as @bashy states your homestead IP address.

Yeah use the full IP if you want to use DB stuff from both local and VM machines. :)

@MThomas Hi! Been a while.

ah okay :D Thank you guys :)

Okay, I tried it, but it didn't work with 192.168.10.10 :(

(Only if I ssh in it works)

@Akeno than you need to get used to SSH into the VM, if you use laravel Elixir it is advisable to run that not on the VM but locally.

@bashy, yeah it has been a wile, started a new job last October and as a result I did not have any time left for some decent coding etc, now I'm starting to find some time to take a look at laracasts once in a while and to work on some of my personal hobby projects :) All well on your side?

@MThomas Ah good stuff! It's hard to get side projects in right... Yes been really good, still going at WithSocial :)
