How to deploy Laravel project on cPanel

If you are having trouble deploying a Laravel project on cPanel, you have come to the right place. Our experts have put together this handy guide to help you out.How to deploy Laravel project on cPanel

  1. First, we have to compress the Laravel project so that it is easy to upload it on cPanel.
  2. Next, we have to log in to our cPanel account.
  3. Then, click File Manager and create a new folder in the root folder.
  4. After that, upload the compressed Laravel project zip file to the newly created folder.
  5. Next, extract the files in the zip file and then move them to the folder we created in Step 3. Remember to delete the /Laravel path.
  6. Then, we have to locate the index.php file and make changes to the following lines:

    require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

    to

    require __DIR__.'/../newfolder/vendor/autoload.php';

    and

    $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

    to

    $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../newfolder/bootstrap/app.php';

    Remember to replace newfolder with the name of the folder we created in Step 3.

  7. Now, we have to head to the database tab.
  8. Next, click MySQL Databases to create a database after creating a user by scrolling down. This user will have all privileges on the database.
  9. After creating the database, head back to the File Manager and add the credentials to the .env file.
  10. Then, we have to add the SQL file we exported to the host. We can do this by logging in to PHPMyAdmin.
  11. At this point, we have to head to public_html folder and create a new file and then name it symlink.php.
  12. Next, open the symlink.php file and add the following line:

    symlink("path/to/the/storage/public/folder(source)","path/to/the/public/folder(destination)");

    Then save and exit the file.

  13. We can run the file, by going to the normal domain name and appending the link to the file as shown below:

    domain.com/symlink.php

    Now, we can delete the symlink.php file and all our images and files will be accessible.
