Comments on Installing Laravel PHP Framework on Ubuntu 16.04 for Apache

You got me with this:

sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project --prefer-dist

So after we have to do:

sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/html/your-projectsudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/your-project/storage

(where is your-project is some project name)

Also here:

<VirtualHost *:80>    ServerName localhost    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/your-project/public    <Directory /var/www/html/your-project>        AllowOverride All    </Directory>    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined</VirtualHost>Because project will never start...But any way, thank you guys for great tutorial ;)

what i do wrong?

Really clear and detailed instructions.Can't thank you enough ! :D

Followed all instructions but hit one problem at the end. /localhost/index creates a Laravel routes error but /localhost/index.php runs fine.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and php7. Laravel version is 5.3.9.

The biggest problems with Laravel are the subtle changes from release to release which means each release requires a different installation stragety. :/

Best tutorial. It works like a charm!

Nice article, thank you!

An easy way to try out Laravel in action is to use Laravel 5 Boilerplate / Starter Kit - https://github.com/Labs64/laravel-boilerplate

This is also offering Docker container, with this you don’t need a local PHP (composer, node.js, etc.) environment and can start to evaluate Laravel right away.

the best tutorial for laravel installation , please update with php7 version too.

 

Thanks

I only needed the apache configuration and it worked perfectly on Debian Stretch, thanks a lot!

Good !

I am successfully instald laravel for thanks.

Running sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/html/project command just messed up my entire linux, now my sudo command doesn't work.

The command is fine, it can not mess up your Linux when typed in correctly. Most likely, you added a whitespace somewhere in the path.

Why on earth you give ownership to the whole filesystem of your web project to apache user? you don't really need it and it opens the project to any kind of defacement if you have a small bug or any uncontrolled upload feature in your application

How do I know what IP my server is on? Tried localhost, but that only gives my apache install info.

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mylaravel/public

 

    <Directory /var/www/html/mylaravel>

        AllowOverride All

    </Directory>

 

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>
