Windows installation issues.

[DiegoHeras]

Hello, first of all, thank you for this great blog. I want to learn Laravel and i think i will follow this code to know more about this framework.

I am using Windows 8 with xampp MySql.

I was following the installation steps until the point 3:
https://github.com/andrewelkins/Laravel-4-Bootstrap-Starter-Site#step-3-configure-environments

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(

'local' => array('VirtualMint','homestead','*.local'), // Change this to your local machine hostname.
'staging' => array('your-staging-machine-name'),
'production' => array('your-production-machine-name'),

));

When i write on my console hostname.It says: Admin. So, should i change it like this:
'local' => array('Admin'),
????

Anyway i dont know how to configure the file mail.php:
https://github.com/andrewelkins/Laravel-4-Bootstrap-Starter-Site#step-5-configure-mailer

'from' => array('address' => '@gmail.com', 'name' => 'Testname'),

'username' => null,
'password' => null,

I think these are the line that i have to change, right? Could you put me an example with a valid email.

Sorry for my questions, but i live in Spain and my English is not as well as it should be.

Thanks!

In Win8 I could fix this using the machine name. In PC Information u find that name
