Moving laravel from localhost to a live server you should follow the three steps
2. Execute the artisan commands
3. Permission command if you have 403 error
1. Configure your .env file
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:J7lE5o1vez3Z7oypDuB9KENMn7azHatg7qMhOfX8/tg=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://www.example.com/
LOG_CHANNEL=stack
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxxxIn the above, you need to make sure, you have write your correct url name, database name and password and user name.
2. Execute the artisan commands
Run the below commands in your linux terminal
1. composer install
2. php artisan key:generate
3. php artisan cache:clear
4. php artisan migrate
5. chmod -R 775 storage/
6. composer dump-autoload
7. sudo chown -R apache storage
8. sudo chown -R apache bootstrap/cache
9. chmod -R 775 storage
10. chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
The above commands should be use for Linux or Mac user.
Three commands I often run, these are very useful
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan optimizeWindows users
For windows follow the below command
1. Go to the root of your Laravel installation
(where composer.json and artisan live).
2. Change the owning user and group, where yourusername is your username:
sudo chown -R yourusername:www-data storageThis recursively (-R) sets the user:group owners to yourusername:www-data in all files and folders from storage onward.
3. Add the write permission for both you and the www-data group
sudo chmod -R ug+w storageThis recursively (-R) adds (+) the write flag (w) to the user (u) and group (g) that own the files and folders from app/storage onward.4. Additionally, some suggest you may need to flush the application cache and regenerate the Laravel autoload files.
php artisan cache:clear5. Finally, you may want to regenerate Composer’s autoload files
composer dump-autoload
3. Permission command if you have 403 error
Now if you see the below error or 403 error
pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file
It means .htaccess file is not readable apache
chmod 644 /var/www/html/www.example.com/public/.htaccess Also the public directory needs to be executable and readable
chmod 755 /var/www/html/www.example/public/ Solutions for Laravel Admin Panel
