After you install Laravel like described on the previous post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You may need to configure some stuff.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Configure XAMPP home directory.<\/strong> Go to XAMPP controll panel on the Apache module -> click config and open httpd.conf file -> Search for htdocs and change DocumentRoot and Directory to C:\/xampp\/htdocs\/laravel\/myprojectname\/public (just put the full public path to your Laravel installation);<\/li>\n
  2. Set up the Laravel environment.<\/strong> Go to C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\laravel\\myprojectname and open .env file and put the DB, User and Pass to the ones that you will use.<\/li>\n
  3. Enable the Artisan commands.<\/strong>We need to add a new system variable with the PHP path of our XAMPP installation. Go to Control Panel\\All Control Panel Items\\System -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced tab -> Environment variables -> System variables -> new -> Call the new variable ‘Artisan’ and add the path ‘C:\\xampp\\php’ -> OK.\n
