Can't make Laravel 4 to work on localhost

Question

I\'m trying Laravel for the first time after reading an announcement of the Laravel4 beta releasing.

I followed these steps I installed composer and laravel with all

Answer 1

In my case I resolved this error by modifying in file /app/config/app.php the default setting:

'url' => 'http://localhost',

to my local custom virtualhost host url:

'url' => 'http://mydomain.local',

This seemed to be THE essential change that resolved the issue (I also chmod'ed the storage folder, as suggested here)

hope this helps some of you..

Answer 2

I like this method better than changing permissions to 777. Set Apache to run as you.

1. In terminal type id to get uid=123(Myname).

2. Open /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and edit it to use your username.

   <IfModule unixd_module>
      User Myname
      Group staff
   </IfModule>
   

3. Back to terminal: sudo apachectl restart
