Hi,
I was playing around with artisan commands and that is all going great. However when I do an api call to my application I only get HTTP 503 responses.
My application only has an api, but I don't know how to fix this!
Hi,
Well this normally happens when you run php artisan down. It basically means you put your application in maintenance mode. The app\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode.php class is taking care of this for you.
You can fix this by simply running php artisan up.
Let me know if that fixes it for you ;)
Oow, I'm that stupid! Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't know you could do this with Laravel.
This is awesome!
