How to host TALL app on Hetzner Cloud from a Git Repo ?

@JakeCausier , Thank you, it works, find but how can I upload the .env file, since it's not in the repo?

@t9dev You make one on the server and edit it with the correct credentials

Run

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

@Sinnbeck , I got this error. cp: cannot stat '.env.example': No such file or directory

@t9dev Oh seems that someone deleted it then? Its default in laravel. Normally you keep it up to date with the normal .env (without any passwords etc) so people can easily use it as a template

https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/9.x/.env.example

So Instead type

touch .env

And then open it with nano or vim, and add what you need

And run

php artisan key:generate

@Sinnbeck , great. I have done what you said and now a new Apache error Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. Is it because I did the wrong URL ?

APP_URL=http://95.217.***.***/public

@t9dev No laravel does not need that to serve the url. Are you sure you set apache to point to /path/to/laravel/public

@Sinnbeck , not sure. But it says I need to install the project in var/www/html.

@t9dev Yeah that guide isnt very good. You need to actually set up a virtual host file that points to your app. You should never have /public in the url

@Sinnbeck , and how to do that, is there any tutorial to watch or read for it ?

@t9dev step 5 and jump to creating the conf file https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-20-04

@Sinnbeck , Done, now it redirects correctly to the app routes but still shows the same 404 error message :(

@t9dev can you show the virtual host file you wrote?

@Sinnbeck

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName onboarding
    ServerAlias www.minPlanonboarding
    DocumentRoot /var/www/onboarding/public
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

I don't have a domine yet, still using the IP Address only.

@t9dev that might mean it's still using the default. Try adding the ip as ServerName and restart apache

@Sinnbeck , not changes, still the same.

@Sinnbeck , I tried to create a index.html file and it displays the content perfectly, but the index.php causes the error, any idea ?

@t9dev can you try

sudo a2enmod php8.0

Check php version with php -v if in doubt

@Sinnbeck , I downloaded php 8.1.

@t9dev so php -v returns 8.1? Did you try the command with php8.1?

Maybe try sudo apt install php8. 1-common

@Sinnbeck , I tried to install a new Laravel project and it works fine, so I tried to use the same public fill on my project, yet the same problem occurs.

@t9dev if it works with a new laravel installation but not the one from the github repo then apache is working. Can you share the url perhaps? Or at least the exact error message

@Sinnbeck , I solved the problem by changing the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, yet I got a problem with Vite and NPM installation. http://95.217.217.198/

@t9dev just run npm run build

@Sinnbeck , tried every npm command, still , error message

/var/www/onboarding/node_modules/vite/bin/vite.js:2

@t9dev I have seen that error before but have no clue what it means. Did you run npm install?

@Sinnbeck , I did, and it showed alot of warn messages.

@t9dev Upgrade Node to 16+

@t9dev and npm run build still throws that error? What node version are you running?

@Sinnbeck , how to install the latest node version? It's v10.19. Maybe this is the problem..

@t9dev quick Google https://joshtronic.com/2021/05/09/how-to-install-nodejs-16-on-ubuntu-2004-lts/

@Sinnbeck , Done. I got an issue that Node is not updating but solved it using this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70060625/updating-node-version. Thank you so much.

@t9dev if everything is solved, please mark a best answer to set the thread as solved
