It was a lot of messing around as usual with things not working (nothing new there). Got it working now and used one tutorial to make a simple app. That almost worked, but the CSS was totally off so all buttons were missing. I assume he missed something in the tutorial. I used: https://www.parthpatel.net/laravel-tutor...-beginner/ . I just stuck the CDNs for bootstrap at the top of the layout page and put bootstrap classes on the buttons. Was all fine then. Here are other issues: 1. It looks like Laravel are advertising a company called Docker... it was an absolute disaster. It would not even work when I installed it and I had to even change something in the BIOS at start-up. 2. They have this kind of "oh its so much easier to use than setting up a server... blah blah"... yeah right. Not only did Docker screw up xampp, it was just too much messing about. I eventually realized I was wasting my time with it and uninstalled it. 3. You do not even need it anyway. Xampp is EASY to use in comparison. Xampp you install, change a little bit of code in php.ini and you are away. Easy peazy. 4. If you scroll a little bit further down the Laravel installation page, they show that you can just install it with Composer!! So why did I just mess about with this useless docker for an hour? 5. You do not even need xampp (which I prefer using anyway), they have something almost the same as CI spark. 6. So far it has worked OK (apart from the Docker thing). I will dig into it some more later. |
