Some Laravel Platform like Orchestral Platform use different Folder Structure.
The migration files are moved to base_path/database/ according to laravel 5 folder structure. Where as in Orchestra's folder structure it needed to be moved to the path base_path/resources/database/. So in-order to work in different folder structure, database path should be taken instead of taking the base path. It will work seamlessly in different folder structure.
