What I find amazing is that it doesn't matter how much you think you know, with technology and programming you're always learning that you have so much more to learn than you think. Si curiously you first learn that you have a lot to learn and then you actually start learning the subjects themselves. Fascinating. Really good video man.js

[kazimrahman]

WoW...!!...Your tutorials KICKS-AWAY all of the FEARS....those I was holding for a LONG TIME while thinking about LARAVEL..!!

[Short_Storm]

for those lsapp.dev or lsapp. test is not working try using lsapp.me and make sure you restart apache each time you change name. i got error for lsapp.dev and lsapp.test but it worked for lsapp.me, but after restarting apache, lsapp.test started to work too. hope it helps

Quick Host-File tip.
On Windows right-click the desktop and select new>shortcut.

In the Location of item paste in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe"
^Please note that the C will need to be replaced with whatever drive you installed MS Code.

Then right-click and select properties on the new shortcut. Select the Compatibility tab and check Run this program as an administrator. Hit apply and now you will have a shortcut to open the host file as admin in MS Code.

My coding friend got me set up with the bits and pieces I'd need to start figuring out a little project I have in my head. With virtually no real coding experience I had no idea how I'd find tutorials online to help me with all this ... ironically you've incorporated every piece he's mentioned, so thank you! =) Looking forward to figuring all this out... I greatly appreciate the video series on this.

To move the terminal (panel) to the side, add to user settings & reload

"right"

[RCZY_OFFICIAL]

for the people where the dashbord shows on localhost and your project file. go to xampp programm > apache config button > httpd-sll.conf > ctrl + f "down" word = general > General setup for the virtual host > change document root to project root (So add /lsapp/public)

[csandreas]

There is no need to do all this procedure from 09:15 - 12:25 . After installing laravel just go to your application root directory and run php artisan serve

[noozle]

For anyone that can't get it to work or just gets redirected to the Xampp dashboard do the following:

- You may just need to add or un-comment the NameVirtualHost *:80 before the v-hosts (the file that you see at 19:36)

[maxmaxmaxmaxmaxmaxmaxmaxmax]

For those who are inevitably having problems setting up a virtual host, no worries! VSCode has a built in server to help you out.

Open up your terminal.

Change your directory to the root folder of your Laravel App. For me, it's C:\xampp\htdocs\lsapp (do not go to lsapp\app).

Now, type php artisan serve


Go to your browser and go to that URL.

I'm starting this one in 2020. Very excited. Hopefully it hasn't become outdated or anything ...

[JonibekJ]

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRAD YOUR EXPLANATION OF SETTING UP VIRTUAL HOST SAVED ME. ALHAMDULILLAH

[newbieprogrammer]

For future viewers, if you want the terminal to be on the right side just right click on the terminal tab then select move panel right

I'm using lampp on linux and I was redirected to the wamp home page instead of laravel home page when using lsapp.test .
To correct that I wrote in the next line:
Include ( for you it should be : Include "path_to_httpd-vhosts.conf" )

Note: I use lsapp.test instead of lsapp.dev because of the security problem with firefox
