Hi ! Can you give me some idea about deploying my laravel application to production? Currently on my local, I use php artisan serve to serve my application during development. But I have no idea how to serve my application on a remote server. Because onced, I tried to run it on WAMP Server knowing it is almost the same when deploying your app. But came up for some errors, it requires public directory on my url/routing.
I know php artisan serve use server.php file on a root project then redirect the request on public directory to reach .htaccess and index.php. And now, I need to run it on a server like WAMP Server without using php artisan serve.
Thank you for who will share their ideas.
This tutorial should put you in the right direction: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-laravel-application-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04
It also kinda depends on what kind of hosting you use! Also you can automate a lot of stuff using Deployer for example: https://deployer.org/blog/how-to-deploy-laravel
https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/envoy ism always good as long as you have SSH access to your server. It's also surprisingly free. By the way, WAMP is definitely not a good choice. For the little effort it requires on your part I;d recommend using LaraDock or Homestead to develop locally.
Hmm. Thank you. But we are using Windows Server only. Is there any way?
@PK_06 You should have mentioned that you use a windows server though... I have zero experience with Windows Server, so I can't help you with that ;)
Okay thank you for your time bro.
