4. Database Setup and Sequel Pro

Slide 1

The `.env` file found at the root of the project,Think of this file as single secure place store for passwords, keys, API keys, etc.. You will have one `.env` file for local development, And you will create `.env` file on production server that will have production specific keys. Jeffrey Way connects to the database via the `.env` file settings, And didn't edit anything in the `config/database.php` file like what Joseph Lowery did. Then you have to fix:Laravel::problem => Database error Schema::defaultStringLength(191); Then issue: `php artisan migrate`. This is so that Laravel create database tables defined at `database/migrations` that almost every project will use, and that gets you up and running very quickly.
