How to install the Laravel app on the Plesk server?

By clicking the ‘Add Domain’ button in Plesk and choosing ‘Laravel site’ from the list of possible options, we should first create a new domain. If we don’t yet have a domain name for the website, don’t be concerned, we can use a temporary domain name for the time being.

Upon finishing the website’s creation, Plesk will present us with the option of installing a pre-built Laravel app or downloading it from a remote Git repository. Installing the skeleton will allow us to see the Laravel Toolkit features right away.

We’ve to wait till the process finishes. After that, we can see our first Laravel app is now available on the web.

Setup of Laravel app on Plesk

According to the best guess, a mouse would request a database if we gave it a Laravel app. So let’s go forward and add one for the app. The steps are as follows:

1. Click the “Manage Domain” button first on the Laravel “Information” dashboard. We’ll be now in the “Hosting” dashboard.

2. Click “Databases” and then “Add Database”.

The Laravel app configuration file needs to be updated with the necessary information to connect to the newly generated database after the database has been created.

3. Click the ‘Manage Laravel Application’ button on the ‘Hosting’ dashboard. We’ll be now in the Laravel card.

4. Open the .env file and add the database credentials once there.

5. Run the “artisan migrate” command to construct a database as the final step. We may launch the “artisan” tool directly from the Plesk user interface. Select the “migrate” command from the preloaded list of commands after switching to the “Artisan” tab.

Managing Laravel app on Plesk

Composer and npm commands can be rapidly invoked by selecting them from the list of preloaded commands. In addition to the standard ‘artisan schedule:list’ command, we may easily evaluate all scheduled jobs on a separate tab if the Laravel app uses Laravel Task Scheduling.
