Perch Licence not working - Development environment

Hi Rachel

Yes, it's running the latest version.

Thanks

Hi Rachel

That is strange. I am running PHP 7.1.2 with the latest version of Perch. I also have my Mac firewall turned off.

Where can I find the error log? Thanks

Hi Steve, You probably need a custom valet driver for Perch (https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/valet#custom-valet-drivers). I'm gonna see how my local perch sites run on valet this arv (previously used homestead for dev), if I create a working custom driver for it I'll share it.

Cheers, Andrew

Righto, after much messing around with custom driver config this seems to be working for me. It's just a local custom driver, so you need to save this code into a file called 'LocalValetDriver.php' in the root of your project. I will make a general Perch driver soon, as I have a lot of Perch projects I'll need to run on Valet.

I think this file is probably more complex than it needs to be, but I just wanted to get something which worked asap. The driver is effectively just the Valet basic driver but with code to ensure the $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] variable is properly set (it's not set by default), as Perch uses that variable to validate the licenses.

Hope it helps!

For anyone using Perch with Valet, I've cleaned up this driver and added it to Github, also made it a general Perch driver.
