hey guys.
i deployed my laravel project on cpanel shared hosting. and i'm still developing it and uploading my changes. but now i add a package to my project and upload my package and its dependencies in vendor also updated the composer.json , composer.lock.json and autoload.php in vendor but in config/app.php when i call the provider and alliases my whole site is down.
what do you think should i do instead of upload entire the project?
thanks.
Hi, after updating the composer.json file, you need to run composer update
But, usually when you need a new package, you run
composer install vendor/package // 'vendor/package' - is a placeholder
and this command automatically updates composer.json file and installs the package
thanks , i know that but on cpanel , how can i do that?
@SERGIU17 - I think OP is unable to run system commands, as he indicates that he's using cPanel to manage his application.
@mitismirza - I know of no solution for your problem, but I'd really look into switching over to a VPS, or a simpler solution like Forge (which has a more similar experience to cPanel).
Deploying/updating your application is going to be a pain when you're unable to run system commands...
@mitismirza @musa11971 The easiest way would be to download composer.phar file and place it into the root of the project, then ssh into your server, and run
php composer.phar install vendor/package
// or
php composer.phar update
@MUSA11971 - thanks , yes in fact is a hard pain.
@Sergiu17 thanks , i test it. if its work it will be awesome.
