Hey, anyone who is looking at this getting some insight: there is a fix for those who are having issues with merging branches and finding that your dev site isn't showing.

Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException; <--- put that at the top of your app-start-global.php file. #solutions

hmmm, that immediately throws an exception...

[Fri Apr 18 10:23:35 2014] [error] [client 192.168.77.1] PHP Fatal error: Undefined constant 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException' in /vagrant/sites/capstone.dev/app/start/global.php

is what shows in the apache scripts, hmmm

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;

Don't forget the word 'use' in front of it.

thanks chaps!
