Connection issues

Fix local, Docker, and SSH connection problems.

Connection problems are usually path or environment problems. LaraBench needs to run php artisan from the Laravel app directory in the environment you selected.

Local project checks

  • Make sure the selected folder contains artisan.
  • Confirm host PHP can run the project.
  • Check that dependencies are installed.

Docker checks

  • Make sure Docker is running.
  • Make sure the container name is correct.
  • Check the app path inside the container, not the host path.
  • Try docker exec manually before testing in LaraBench.

SSH checks

  • Check host, user, port, and key path.
  • Confirm the SSH user can cd into the Laravel app path.
  • Run php artisan about manually over SSH.
