How to set up SQLITE for laravel webserver?

I want to use SQLITE for my laravel5 project on my webserver. I migrated my local laravel 5 project onto my AWS ec2 lamp Ubuntu server. http://ift.tt/1q8yx0U but it shows

InvalidArgumentException in SQLiteConnector.php line 34: Database does not exist.

I changed the database.php set for sqlite

 <?php
 return array(
    'default' => 'sqlite',
    'connections' => array(
    'sqlite' => array(
    'driver'   => 'sqlite',
    'database' =>    'http://ift.tt/1pR5MVz',
    'prefix'   => '',
     ),
   ),
  );
 ?>

and I changed the .env to

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=mystring
DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file

when I do php artisan migrate it says there is no database

I think what I wrote as the path for the database in the database.php is wrong and do I may need to somehow write where my ip adress is in the .env file? I have been googling all night and can't seem to figure this out.
