How do I run migrations for a specific environment in laravel

Question

I\'m setting up a new app with laravel (Laravel 4), and having some issues setting up the database via migrations.

I made a migration file with:

artisan          


        

Answer 1

You need to specify the environment before the migrate command.

artisan --env=local migrate

Running artisan help shows you the format in which commands are to follow.

artisan help

Usage:
  [options] command [arguments]
