Video Tutorial Deploy Laravel 5 Projects to cPanel

Access cPanel

Go to your cPanel’s login page using its access IP address provided by your hosting provider.

Now log in to your cPanel and it will look like this. In this tutorial, we can upload laravel project using File Manager, MySQL® Databases, and phpMyAdmin features in cPanel.

But, on this tutorial i'll use WinSCP that SFTP and FTP client, download it from this link https://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Upload Laravel Project's

Using WinSCP please login with your FTP account and upload your laravel project into cPanel on Root directory (/).

After finished, move all file in the public folder of your laravel project to your public_html folder (/public_html/ or /public_html/newfolder/).

After all file (public file) has moved into public_html folder, just update your index.php with this code..

If your app is on /public_html/

require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';

If your app is on other folder  /public_html/newfolder/

require __DIR__.'/../../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';

So, you can access you application by following this address :
http://yoursite.com/
or
http://yoursite.com/newfolder

Connect to Databases

Assuming you are using Laravel with MySQL (which is the most common stack preferred by many), I will explain how to connect your MySQL database with the deployed project.You have to first create your database on your Shared hosting server. Open your cPanel and go to MySQL® Databases page.

Under Create New Database section, give your database a name and create database. Page will refresh and under Current Databases section, you will see your new database is also listed. Now go to MySQL Users section and create a database user. Your page will refresh and you will see your new user listed under the Current Users section. Now go to the Add User To Database Section and select your new user and new database, so that your user now can access and modify your database.

Update .ENV file

Onep your laravel folder on root directory, than update .env and update the following fields with new database information

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel54
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=null
