Managing settings to debug in Laravel

1. You need to identify your host name first. To know the host name type the following on command mode.

C:\> hostname
SOM013

You will use this host name for setting up for proper debugging in step no 2.

2. Go to bootstrap > start.php and go to the position having following code.

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(
'local' => array('homestead'),
));

Change the above code to the following like this:

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(
'local' => array('homestead', 'SOM013'),
));

Here we have added the host name inside the array.

This will show you the stack trace with all the environment variables which helps in debugging. Enjoy debugging using Laravel!
