Here are the steps to deploy a Laravel application using the AccuWeb.Cloud dashboard:<\/p>\n
Install Laravel Application from the Marketplace<\/h3>\n
AccuWeb.Cloud allows you to install a Laravel application with just one click from the Marketplace. You only need to provide details, like the environment name and location, and then click the Install<\/b> button to set up the Laravel application.<\/a><\/p>\nSteps to Install Laravel Application<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Log in to your AccuWeb.Cloud dashboard<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/b> Click on Marketplace<\/b> at the top left of the screen.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/b> In the Marketplace window, go to Dev & Admin Tools<\/b>. Find Laravel<\/b> in the list of applications and click the Install<\/b> button.<\/p>\n
![\"Dev](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-30-12-18-2024_01_22_PM-1.png\" "\\"Dev")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/b> In the Laravel window<\/b>, enter a name in the Environment<\/b> field. This name will act as a temporary URL to access the Laravel application.<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/b> In the Display Name<\/b> field, enter a name to display in the AccuWeb.Cloud dashboard. This name is only for display and won\u2019t appear on the website.<\/p>\n
![\"Display](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-34-12-18-2024_01_24_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"Display")
<\/a>
\n<\/strong>
\nStep 6:<\/b> Choose the Region<\/b> where you want to install the Laravel application, and then click the Install<\/b> button.<\/p>\nInstall a Database for the Laravel Application<\/h3>\n
There are two ways to install a database for your Laravel application:<\/p>\n
\n- Install the database in the existing Laravel environment<\/b> using the Change Environment Topology<\/b> option.<\/li>\n
- Install the database in a new environment<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The first option is better because the database stays within the existing environment, making it easier to manage.
\n<\/strong>
\nIn this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to install the database<\/a> using the Change Environment Topology<\/b> option.<\/p>\nSteps to Install the Database<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Go to the Laravel environment<\/b> and click on the Change Environment Topology<\/b> icon.<\/p>\n
![\"Change](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-31-12-18-2024_01_28_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"Change")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b> In the Topology<\/b> window, go to the SQL<\/b> section and choose a database based on your needs. For this example, we are selecting MySQL 8<\/b>.<\/p>\n
![\"Go](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-32-12-18-2024_01_29_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"Go")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b> Set up the cloudlets for the database. In this example, we selected 8 cloudlets<\/b> for Reserved<\/b> and 16 cloudlets<\/b> for the Scaling limit<\/b>.<\/p>\n
![\"Cloudlets](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dsfadsdfsd-1-1.png\" "\\"Cloudlets")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/b> After assigning the cloudlets, click the Apply<\/b> button to install the database in the existing environment.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t \n \n \n \n \n \n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\nStep 5:<\/b> Once the installation is complete, the MySQL database<\/b><\/a> will be installed, and the login details will be sent to your registered email address.<\/p>\n![\"MySQL](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-08-12-18-2024_01_34_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"MySQL")
<\/a>
\n<\/strong>
\nYour database is now ready to use!<\/p>\nClone a Repository in Your AccuWeb.Cloud Environment<\/h2>\n
If you have a GitHub account with a Laravel application, you can easily pull that project into your AccuWeb.Cloud environment. Follow these steps to clone your Laravel project:<\/p>\n
Steps to Clone the Laravel Project<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Select the environment where you have installed the Laravel application.<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b> Go to the Application Servers<\/b> section and click on the Web SSH<\/b> option.<\/p>\n
![\"Application](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-01-12-18-2024_01_31_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"Application")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe Web SSH window will open at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/b>\u00a0Enter the following command in the Web SSH terminal to clone your Laravel project:<\/p>\n$ git clone https:\/\/github.com\/f1amy\/laravel-realworld-example-app.git<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Web](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-02-1.png\" "\\"Web")
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
This command will copy the Git repository into your AccuWeb.Cloud environment.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/i><\/b> Here, we used the “hello-world” project as an example. You can replace it with your Laravel project repository link.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\nStep 4: <\/b>Go to the project directory by running the following command:<\/p>\n$ cd laravel-realworld-example-app<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Project](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-03-1.png\" "\\"Project")
<\/a><\/p>\nThis will change the directory to the laravel-realworld-example-app<\/b> folder.
\n<\/strong>
\nYour Laravel project is now cloned and ready to use in your AccuWeb.Cloud environment.<\/p>\nRun the Composer Create-Project Command<\/h2>\n
Once you are in the project folder, you need to run the composer create-project<\/b> command in the Web SSH terminal.<\/p>\n
This command is used to create a new project by downloading a template or package (like a framework), installing its required dependencies, and setting up the project directory.<\/p>\n
\t\t\n\t\t\t \n \n \n \n \n \n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSteps to Run Composer Create-Project<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Run the following command in the Web SSH terminal to set up your project and install its dependencies:<\/p>\n$ composer create-project<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Web](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-04-1.png\" "\\"Web")
<\/a><\/p>\nIf you are creating a new Laravel project, the command would be:<\/p>\n
$ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel\/laravel laravel<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nSince this is an existing project<\/b> with a composer.json file, running composer create-project<\/b> is enough. The composer.json file contains all the app’s dependencies.<\/p>\n
To install the specific versions listed in the composer.lock file, run the following command in the web SSH terminal:<\/p>\n
$ composer install<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nTo update and get the latest versions of dependencies, use:<\/p>\n
$ composer update<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nStep 2:<\/b> After the dependencies are installed, go back to the parent directory by running:<\/p>\n$ cd ..<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Parent](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-05-1.png\" "\\"Parent")
<\/a><\/p>\nThis command will take you back to the parent folder.
\n<\/strong>
\nYour project is now ready with all its required dependencies!<\/p>\nMove the Project Directory to the Apache Web Root Directory<\/h2>\n
After installing the project dependencies, you need to move your project directory to the Apache web root directory (\/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT)<\/b>.<\/p>\nSteps to Move the Project Directory<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Run the following command in the Web SSH terminal to move the project directory:<\/p>\n$ mv laravel-realworld-example-app \/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Web](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-06-1.png\" "\\"Web")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b> Go to the Apache web root directory to confirm the project has been moved. Use the following commands:<\/p>\n$ cd \/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT\/<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n$ ls<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n$ ls -la<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Apache](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-07-1.png\" "\\"Apache")
<\/a><\/p>\nThese commands will show the list of files in the Apache web root directory, and you can check if your project folder is there.<\/p>\n
Your project directory is now successfully moved to the Apache web root!<\/p>\n
\t\t\n\t\t\t \n \n \n \n \n \n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\nConfigure the App’s Virtual Host in Apache<\/h2>\n
<\/strong>
\nTo configure the Laravel<\/a> app’s Virtual Host in the Apache configuration file, follow these steps in the Web SSH terminal:<\/p>\nSteps to Configure the Virtual Host<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Navigate to the Laravel environment in the AccuWeb.Cloud dashboard. Then, go to Application Servers<\/b> and click on the Config<\/b> option.<\/p>\n
![\"Navigate](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-25-12-18-2024_01_42_PM-2-1.png\" "\\"Navigate")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b> In the Application Servers Configs tab, click on the “conf<\/b>” folder on the left side of the screen.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/b> Find the httpd.conf<\/b> file, click on the Settings<\/b> icon and select Open<\/b> to edit the file.<\/p>\n
![\"Application](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-26-12-18-2024_01_43_PM-2-1.png\" "\\"Application")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/b> Scroll to the end of the httpd.conf<\/b> file, where you\u2019ll find the VirtualHost<\/b> section. Update the DocumentRoot<\/b> path to point to your Laravel application folder.<\/p>\n
For example, the path should look like this:<\/p>\n
DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT\/laravel-realworld-example-app\/public<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"DocumentRoot](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-28-12-18-2024_01_45_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"DocumentRoot")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 5:<\/b> After updating the DocumentRoot<\/b>, click the Save<\/b> button at the top of the screen to save the changes.<\/p>\n
Your Laravel app’s Virtual Host is now configured!<\/p>\n
Create a Database for the Laravel App<\/h2>\n
You can create a database for your Laravel app using either Web SSH<\/b> or phpMyAdmin<\/b>. Here, we will use phpMyAdmin<\/b> to create the database.<\/p>\nSteps to Create a Database with phpMyAdmin<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Log in to phpMyAdmin<\/b> using the MySQL database<\/a> login details. The MySQL Login details and the phpMyAdmin access link are sent to your registered email when MySQL is installed in your environment.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t \n \n \n \n \n \n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\nStep 2:<\/b> At the top of the phpMyAdmin window, click on the Databases<\/b> option.<\/p>\n
![\"MySQL](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-09-12-18-2024_01_34_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"MySQL")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b> In the Create Database<\/b> field, enter a name for your database (e.g., LaravelApp<\/b>).<\/p>\n\n- Leave the Collation<\/b> dropdown as it is if you want to use the default MySQL schema collation.<\/li>\n
- Click the Create<\/b> button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"MySQL](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-10-12-18-2024_01_35_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"MySQL")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/b> After clicking Create<\/b>, the new database<\/a> will be created. You will see it listed on the right side under the available databases.<\/p>\n![\"Database](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-11-12-18-2024_01_36_PM-1-1.png\" "\\"Database")
<\/a>
\n<\/strong>
\nYour database is now ready to use!<\/p>\nEdit the App’s Environment Variables<\/h2>\n
After creating the database, you need to update the app’s environment variables. Follow these steps to edit the .env<\/b> file:<\/p>\nSteps to Edit the Environment Variables<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Go to the project directory by running this command in the terminal:<\/p>\n$ cd \/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT\/laravel-realworld-example-app\/<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nStep 2:<\/b> Open the .env<\/b> file using a text editor like nano:<\/p>\n$ nano .env<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nStep 3:<\/b> The default database settings in the .env<\/b> file may look like this:<\/p>\nDB_CONNECTION=pgsql\r\n\r\nDB_HOST=pgsql\r\n\r\nDB_PORT=5432\r\n\r\nDB_DATABASE=laravel-realworld\r\n\r\nDB_USERNAME=sail\r\n\r\nDB_PASSWORD=password<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"Default](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/laravel-project-19-12-18-2024_01_37_PM-2-1.png\" "\\"Default")
<\/a><\/p>\nUpdate these settings to match your MySQL database<\/a> configuration:<\/p>\nDB_CONNECTION=mysql\r\n\r\nDB_HOST=Database hostname or IP address\r\n\r\nDB_PORT=3306\r\n\r\nDB_DATABASE=LaravelApp\r\n\r\nDB_USERNAME=root\r\n\r\nDB_PASSWORD=Database-password<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n

\nTo configure the Laravel<\/a> app’s Virtual Host in the Apache configuration file, follow these steps in the Web SSH terminal:<\/p>\nSteps to Configure the Virtual Host<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Navigate to the Laravel environment in the AccuWeb.Cloud dashboard. Then, go to Application Servers<\/b> and click on the Config<\/b> option.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b> In the Application Servers Configs tab, click on the “conf<\/b>” folder on the left side of the screen.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/b> Find the httpd.conf<\/b> file, click on the Settings<\/b> icon and select Open<\/b> to edit the file.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/b> Scroll to the end of the httpd.conf<\/b> file, where you\u2019ll find the VirtualHost<\/b> section. Update the DocumentRoot<\/b> path to point to your Laravel application folder.<\/p>\n
For example, the path should look like this:<\/p>\n
DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT\/laravel-realworld-example-app\/public<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/a><\/p>\nStep 5:<\/b> After updating the DocumentRoot<\/b>, click the Save<\/b> button at the top of the screen to save the changes.<\/p>\n
Your Laravel app’s Virtual Host is now configured!<\/p>\n
Create a Database for the Laravel App<\/h2>\n
You can create a database for your Laravel app using either Web SSH<\/b> or phpMyAdmin<\/b>. Here, we will use phpMyAdmin<\/b> to create the database.<\/p>\n
Steps to Create a Database with phpMyAdmin<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Log in to phpMyAdmin<\/b> using the MySQL database<\/a> login details. The MySQL Login details and the phpMyAdmin access link are sent to your registered email when MySQL is installed in your environment.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b> In the Create Database<\/b> field, enter a name for your database (e.g., LaravelApp<\/b>).<\/p>\n
- \n
- Leave the Collation<\/b> dropdown as it is if you want to use the default MySQL schema collation.<\/li>\n
- Click the Create<\/b> button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/b> After clicking Create<\/b>, the new database<\/a> will be created. You will see it listed on the right side under the available databases.<\/p>\n

\nYour database is now ready to use!<\/p>\nEdit the App’s Environment Variables<\/h2>\n
After creating the database, you need to update the app’s environment variables. Follow these steps to edit the .env<\/b> file:<\/p>\n
Steps to Edit the Environment Variables<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/b> Go to the project directory by running this command in the terminal:<\/p>\n
$ cd \/var\/www\/webroot\/ROOT\/laravel-realworld-example-app\/<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nStep 2:<\/b> Open the .env<\/b> file using a text editor like nano:<\/p>\n
$ nano .env<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\nStep 3:<\/b> The default database settings in the .env<\/b> file may look like this:<\/p>\n
DB_CONNECTION=pgsql\r\n\r\nDB_HOST=pgsql\r\n\r\nDB_PORT=5432\r\n\r\nDB_DATABASE=laravel-realworld\r\n\r\nDB_USERNAME=sail\r\n\r\nDB_PASSWORD=password<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/a><\/p>\nUpdate these settings to match your MySQL database<\/a> configuration:<\/p>\n
DB_CONNECTION=mysql\r\n\r\nDB_HOST=Database hostname or IP address\r\n\r\nDB_PORT=3306\r\n\r\nDB_DATABASE=LaravelApp\r\n\r\nDB_USERNAME=root\r\n\r\nDB_PASSWORD=Database-password<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n - Click the Create<\/b> button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- Install the database in a new environment<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
- Seed the App\u2019s Database<\/a><\/li>\n
- Edit the App\u2019s Environment Variables<\/a>\n
