Documentation update

The command will advise you to create an _ss_environment.php file; don't do that. The script then finishes with an error but don't worry, that's only because Silverstripe's database connection details haven't yet been set up.

It never asked me with 3.1.x-dev today.

php artisan silverstripe:password
This command is not allowed on the 'production' environment.

Need to add to public/silverstripe/mysite/_config.php
Director::set_environment_type('dev');

public/silverstripe/mysite/Page.php is now public/silverstripe/mysite/code/Page.php

The php artisan silverstripe:password command is deliberately disabled on the production environment.

Please don't add Director::set_environment_type('dev'); to your _config.php file, because Laravel sets the silverstripe environment for you automatically (see /src/Themonkeys/Silverstripe/Laravel.php:29). The problem you need to resolve is that Laravel isn't identifying your local environment correctly.

Unfortunately Laravel assumes production by default (I disagree with that, I think it is much more sensible to assume local), and that can happen easily on the command-line because it uses your system's hostname which probably doesn't match any of your environment rules in app/bootstrap/start.php.

Try running hostname on the command line (if on unix), and adding a rule to match that value to your app/bootstrap/start.php file (e.g. "*.local") so that Laravel can correctly identify your local environment on the command line.
