Moving laravel project to another directory

Question

I just installed laravel. I use Windows Xampp. Currently I installed it in c:\users\user_name\laravel. Is that correct or should I put it in htdocs? If so how to do it? thanks for your help

after cut and paste my project it leads me to another error, Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES) – Aidin Sep 15 '18 at 03:57
I try to change env configuration about database and user name, then it leads me again to another error.. SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes – Aidin Sep 15 '18 at 04:09
in your AppServiceProvider.php in providers, inside boot method, you have to put this code Schema::defaultStringLength(191); its a laravel bug – syam Sep 15 '18 at 05:01

Thanks to syam who helped me to start finding a fix to my problem. Here is my solution

Move laravel project to htdocs
Change the env configuration DB_DATABASE=your_db_name DB_USERNAME=user_name DB_PASSWORD=user_password
Edit AppServiceProvider.php and add this code

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; public function boot() { Schema::defaultStringLength(191); }
Then in command line move the active directory to your laravel project and execute this code

composer install

php artisan key:generate

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan migrate

On moving laravel project to another directory: To clear cache, sometimes permission problem may occur. Do this serially:

change env values then,

php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan migrate
