Installing LARAVEL on our Linux Shared plans via
Softaculous:
NOTE: This will only install the
framework under your user, however if you are on a Shared Hosting
plan (restricted or no SSH access) you won't be able to use most of
it's functionalities. How to properly deploy your LARAVEL Project on
a Shared Plan will be covered below in the next section.
2. Under SOFTWARE
section, choose Softaculous Apps Intaller.
3. Type Laravel in
the search-bar and on the next window click Install Now.
4. On the next page fill in
the requested information and choose Quick Install.
* Choose Protocol: choose
SSL or non-SSL protocol (http/https)
* Choose
Domain: the domain to install the software
* In
Directory: name of the directory to which you wish the
application be installed
6. If the Laravel application
is installed properly, you will see the message below:
DEPLOYING
YOUR LARAVEL 5 APPLICATIONS ON A SHARED HOSTING:
After
you have finished building your LARAVEL 5x application on
your local machine and assuming your project is called laravel50,
please proceed to compress (.zip) your whole project on your local PC.
Once this is done, please follow the steps below:
1. Open your cPanel.
2. Click on File Manager.
3. Click on Upload.
4. Upload the laravel50.zip to
the root directory – not the public_html.
5. Extract the laravel50.zip.
Your cPanel file manager should be looking something close
to this:
6. Open the laravel50
folder and MOVE the CONTENTS of the public folder to your cpanel’s
public_html folder (or to the folder where you want your LARAVEL project
to reside).
7. Navigate to the public_html folder
and locate the index.php file. Right click on
it and select Code Editor from the menu.
8. This will open up another
tab showing the cpanel Code Editor, change the
following lines (22 and 36) from...
`require
__DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
...
$app
= require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';`
to
`require
__DIR__.'/../laravel50/bootstrap/autoload.php';
...
$app
= require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel50/bootstrap/app.php';`
NOTE: According to your projects
folder name.
9. The .htaccess file should
look something like this (do not change it unless you are familiar with what
you want to do):
`<IfModule
mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule
mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes…
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$
/$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller…
RewriteCond
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^
index.php [L]
</IfModule>`
10. If everything went well,
your website should now throw a database error, this is because you haven't
migrated your database yet.
RESTORING
YOUR DATABASE:
To do
that, you will first need to create a MySQL database and
user from the CPanel. This can be done by following this TUTORIAL and
this TUTORIAL.
After
this you will need to restore your MySQL backup done on your
local machine to the newly created MySQL database you have
made. This can be done by following this TUTORIAL.
