How do I install Laravel Breeze into Cpanel Existing Project
Laravel Breeze is a starter kit for new applications, not existing applications. Installing it in an existing application can cause unexpected issues.
Either create a new Laravel project with Breeze starter kit and move controllers, models, etc. from the existing project to the new project or implement authentication manually https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/authentication
Thanks for your response, I have already installed Laravel on my cpanel domain using Softaculous, now how do I add Laravel Breeze Starter kit or any other package to continue with the project that is hosted on cpanel server?
@Sandile Ah so its a new laravel project
You have to install Breeze via SSH terminal but its better to install and develop the project locally first and move it to cpanel when its ready. Locally you can first install a new Laravel application and then install the breeze starter kit via CLI.
Documentation for the installation of Laravel https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/installation
Documention for installation of Breeze starter kit https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/starter-kits#laravel-breeze-installation
Thank you so much, I will try installing SSH into the server since the project needs to be done to the server not locally. Thanks again I really appreciate.
