Laravel Unhandled Exception Undefined index: argv on core.php line 218 [duplicate]-Collection of common programming errors

I like to think my Google-fu skills are fairly decent, but I cannot find a solution to this particular issue. I am running laravel on my dev box on my local server. I am running nginx, PHP Version 5.4.6-1 on a Debian Mint machine.

When I point my browser to my local box, I am getting the following error message:

Unhandled Exception

Message:

Undefined index: argv
Location:

/var/www/laravel/laravel/core.php on line 218

That particular snippet of code looks as follows:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Set The CLI Options Array
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| If the current request is from the Artisan command-line interface, we
| will parse the command line arguments and options and set them the
| array of options in the $_SERVER global array for convenience.
|
*/

if (Request::cli())
{
    $console = CLI\Command::options($_SERVER['argv']);

    list($arguments, $options) = $console;

    $options = array_change_key_case($options, CASE_UPPER);

    $_SERVER['CLI'] = $options;
}

Any suggestions out there on how I might go about resolving this particularly annoying issue? Thanks!

  1. Thanks Mario for the heads up, didn’t think the problem was a PHP configuration setting, now I know to look into it from a broader perspective. I found the setting and toggled it over on the php.ini. I restarted the php service (since it runs separate from nginx, unlike Apache) and it worked like a charm.
