OKNoah,
First off I have to give you props on another post where you were explaining an install process. Wish I have someone with those skills on my team! :) Anyways let me jump right into it!
Take a look at the image below
Take a look a the picture below. It shows the location of two databases. I know this might be a little strange but I have to ask. Are you aware of them? If so, fantastic
If I were to guess you are using forge.laravel as software to handle your server administration. Are you using a MAC, possibly MAMP?

Some food for thought...
If you want to swim with the big fish, learn their technique and share the love to others! It add more security when you begin hosting files online through Git if Bit.
You dont have a choice as your business grows into an Agile environment.
See look mom..... no hands!

Hey Travis,
Thanks for the great post.
No, I did not realize there was more than one database.php. Now I understand the concept of environments just from seeing these folders and their contents. I've changed my default server parameters and now it works. I wasn't using Forge either.
I guess I changed config/database.php, then loaded a different environment. But when I later checked out local/database.php, it had the correct settings... and then setting env=local didn't engage those settings. So I'm not sure what's going on there, but default now works for now.
Thanks again, and thanks for your kind words about my other thread.
