Search Issue

[jyrjsinhatfolium]

hello,

i have installed this demo-store as per instructions , my project has setup completely. i served it using php artisan serve at http:127.0.0.1:8000. btw i am using laravel version 8.83.6.

but when i go to dashboard and try to open products the following error comes.

cURL error 7: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 7700: Connection refused (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/demostore_products/search (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\demo-store\vendor\getcandy\admin\resources\views\livewire\pages\products\index.blade.php)

as well as when i try to seed data on command line using php artisan db:seed , the following error shows.

cURL error 7: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 7700: Connection refused (see h ttps://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/demostore_collections/documents?primaryKey=id

Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated.

thanks.

It sounds very much like you do not have Meilisearch running correctly. You can change to use the database Laravel Scout driver instead if you wish.

actually i am using mysql database but that error comes often.

What Laravel Scout driver do you have configured?

[jyrjsinhatfolium]

is it necessary to use meilisearch ? because i found it difficult to install in windows.

[glennjacobs]

No, you can just use the database, but the searching won't be as good. The demo store is configured to use Meilisearch as default.

See https://docs.getcandy.io/quickstart.html

Try setting SCOUT_DRIVER=mysql in your .env file.

Thanks @glennjacobs , I followed the steps of mysql search configuations from here and it worked fine!
