environment problem? .env settings wrong?

does it give you correct URL outside of that package?

Oh, forget to mention: it's laravel 4.2. Hence no .env settings.

URL is correct everywhere else. If I log URL within the AJAX call (before the return Datatables... stuff) it's also localhost:8489.

can you maybe post the AJAX call code? whole of it?

can you also dump/echo which environment you are using? ie prod or staging or local etc.. assuming your app actually DOES have different environments?

AJAX call comes directly from datatables;

$('#table').dataTable({
  ordering: true,
  serverSide: true,
  ajax: 'data/get/'
});

App doesn't have different environments.
