Install of laravel 4 from pagodabox breaks on localhost

Question

How do I get laravel to work on local host from pagodabox? I've installed laravel 4 through pagoda box, then cloned it to localhost. I then ran composer install to get all the dependencies and updates. When I try to navigate the URI to the public directory, it doesn't show me a "you have arrived" screen. Instead I get the following error message:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. [tcp://tunnel.pagodabox.com:6379]

I then looked in "database.php" and noticed that the redis array was modified, so I copied the same one from a fresh installation of Laravel, but then I got the following error:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]

Answer 1

I Had the same problem, just change the bootstrap > start.php file, search for

'local' => array('your-machine-name')

and change it with your machine name.

This video help me to deal with that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJoU-LO8Ufo , in the video he changes it to the virtual host but that didn't work for me, i had to put my computer name.

On Mac the computer name can be found by typing hostname in the terminal.
