Hello, I'm an absolute beginner so it's possible I'm making a crucial mistake here or something. Til now I've developed my laravel app locally, and now I would like to deploy it to my server, however, I haven't got SSH acces. Can I still install Laravel? Thanks
Yes sure
Follow these for deployment on shared hosting:
1- Upload all your files to your domain home folder.
2- Get a database and import your local database
3- Connect database to your app via .env file or config/database.php
4- Till now you can access your website via /public folder, to get rid of this follow possible steps here: https://driesvints.com/blog/laravel-4-on-a-shared-host
Just include the /vendor/ folder and you'll be good. Don't need SSH for anything else apart from database migrating.
thank you I'll do it
Hi ! @bashy What do you mean with "include the /vendor/ folder" ? The vendor "laravel" ? Where we have to include ?
Thank's
Typically you don't commit the vendor in the project root. When you run composer install it will add all those files for you. By including the vendor folder, you no longer need to run composer install
@dumoulin.jb Only include that if you don't want to use composer on your server or you don't have access to do it (SSH)
Nice ! Thank you guys !
