TROUBLESHOOTING

Database Connection Error

# Ensure MySQL is running
# Verify .env database credentials
# Try connecting directly:
php artisan tinker
# Then: DB::connection()->getPdo()

PHP Extensions Missing

# Ensure PDO MySQL extension is installed
php -i | grep "PDO"
php -m | grep "mysql"

Migration Errors

# Rollback and try again
php artisan migrate:rollback
php artisan migrate

# Or reset completely (loses data!)
php artisan migrate:reset
php artisan migrate --seed

DEPLOYMENT

For production, update .env:

APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
MAIL_MAILER=smtp  # or your email service
QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
BROADCAST_DRIVER=redis

Then run:

php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache
