Installation

Hello,

I was trying to setup L5-dev. But "php artisan serve" throws following error:

Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000

This does actually look more like an issue for the laravel issue tracker on GitHub (https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues) ;)

There was a small discussion on the missing paths.php file on the other forums, https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/laravel-5-pathsphp-missing

It references a github where the paths.php file was removed, nothing about fixing it. A issue ticket might be a good idea since the other post is talking about phpunit not artisan.

No ETA on the Fix. Dev branch sure feels like one.
