what to do after deploying laravel project?

Question

I just uploaded my laravel project to my shared hosting and was wondering what things and changes to configuration should I make to make the project work?

Answer 1

My typical checklist:

• Modify the document root to the /public folder
• Make the /storage and bootstrap/cache folders writeable.
• Set up the database
• Modify the .env file to suit the live environment
• Run php artisan migrate

This should get you up and running, or at least bring you to a point where the errors are detailed enough to work things out
