I'm using Artisan::call('migrate'); in a Laravel controller method and it working while Laravel version was 4.1. After updating Laravel using composer update command (and setting "laravel/framework": "4.2.*" in composer.js) this controller method (as this is the only command in it) doesn't work anymore.

I've even added 'cipher' => MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 in /app/config/app.php as stated in http://laravel.com/docs/upgrade#upgrade-4.2

That already happens: http://laravel.io/forum/06-02-2014-not-able-run-artisan-commands

When I put Artisan::call('migrate') into try/catch block controller looks like this:

public function ArtMigr(){
    try {
            Artisan::call('migrate');
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            echo $e;
        }   

}

And I'm getting the following error:

Is everything done properly on my side?
