Unable to create a db table with laravel - mysql

Question

I am learning how to use schema builder to create tables. I have got phpmyadmin running on 127.0.0.1:81/phpmyadmin. I created a db in phpmyadmin named testdb.
On my laravel app in app/config/database.php i have made changes to 'mysql' section as:
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => '127.0.0.1:81',
'database' => 'testdb',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
On app/routes.php i wrote :
Route::get('/', 'HomeController#showWelcome');
On app/controller/HomeController.php i wrote:
public function showWelcome()
{
Schema::create('employee', function($emp_table){
$emp_table->increments('id');
$emp_table->string('name');
$emp_table->integer('salary');
});
return View::make('hello');
}
Now i am getting a 'Something went wrong' message when reloading localhost:8000. It should be creating the table 'employee' with fields 'id', 'name' and 'salary'. The 'app/storage/logs/laravel.log' says:
[2015-01-14 06:09:49] production.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded' in C:\wamp\www\stylop-dev\bootstrap\compiled.php:9301
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: Illuminate\Exception\Handler->handleShutdown()
#1 {main} [] []
Please help, i am stuck fixing this error and have hit a dead end :(

Answer 1

Well i guess i figured out why i was getting the error. I was using 127.0.0.1:81 so i changed it back to the default port 80.
Now it works
