Migrations and Admin User

Run Southactyl migrations and create the first administrator account.

Migrations and admin user

Run migrations

Terminal
cd /var/www/southactyl
php artisan migrate --seed --force

Do not interrupt this command. It creates the base tables and seed data.

Create the first administrator

Terminal
php artisan p:user:make

Use a strong password. Short reused passwords are amateur-hour nonsense.

Confirm the application can read the database

Terminal
php artisan about

If the command throws a database error, fix .env and re-run the database environment setup:

Terminal
php artisan p:environment:database
php artisan config:clear
