Remote Composer Install

Hello,

Having a cheap hosting plan, i'm not able to connect to my webserver in SSH and so, not able to run composer on the server.

Is running composer on my local server and copy the files on the official server such a thing or does some issues will occur? Is there any other way to install laravel remotely?

Cordially, Bean.

It is possible, just not very convenient.

Hi,

you can try to install dependencies with composer within your local environment. Remember to also compile your javascript files if needed.

After you have a running envoirement you need to upload all the files to your server with ftp or something.

Best regards, Martin

Hello,

For update, i solved it by upgrading my hosting plan (and with the help of customer service as php command line wasn't in the same version as php website server).

Thanks for yourr advices anyway!
