I'm trying to deploy a Laravel application to a shared Linux server. My server is a GridServer through MediaTemple running PHP 7.0.
All the guides for deployment I can find seen to assume I have root access to the server. In my case, I don't. The various deployment tools out there all seen confusing and unnecessary to me (Envoyer, FortRabbit, etc) but maybe I'm just missing the point. Shouldn't an FTP client be all I need?
Any Laravel episodes or other resources I should look at on this topic? I'm having a hard time finding much that applies to shared hosting.
Just google some blog! Maybe this helps:
Also I recommend you to look at some VPS of any kind. Normally on shared hosting you don't have SSH access, which makes things a lot harder because Laravel is managed using the command line.
