Hi Laracasts. I just entered the QA phase of my project. I need to deploy the project on Apache 2.4.10 on Debian 7. My project is written in Laravel 5. I did a search and didn't get any good results. I haven't done this before and so I need a little help. Does anyone know of any good sources/articles/tutorials on how to deploy a Laravel 5 project on Apache?
What access do you have to the server? SSH or just FTP?
if SSH, most people would clone their project from github or similar, then run composer install and php artisan migrate.
If ftp, it's possible to FTP all files including the vendor files, and Laravel will work. You'll need to do migrations manually.
One thing to keep in mind is that your storage folder will need write access.
Doesn't matter what web server software really, it's more of server access as stated by taijuten.
