Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter issues during setup:
Ensure all required PHP extensions are installed:
# Check installed PHP extensions
php -m

# Required extensions include:
# - pdo_mysql or pdo_pgsql
# - mbstring
# - tokenizer
# - xml
# - ctype
# - json
# - bcmath
# - fileinfo
Verify database credentials and connectivity:
# Test MySQL connection
mysql -u username -p -h hostname

# Test PostgreSQL connection
psql -U username -h hostname -d database
Check log files in storage/logs for detailed error messages:
# View the latest log file
tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log
Make sure you never commit your .env files or any sensitive credentials to your repository. Always use environment variables for secrets in production.
