Example tutorial of deploying Laravel on cloud server

This article mainly introduces in detail how to deploy Laravel on the cloud server, which has certain reference value. Interested friends can refer to it

It has been a while since I learned PHP and Laravel, but All the code ran on the local virtual host, so I went to Tencent Cloud to apply for a free cloud host for one month, and wanted to deploy the project to the cloud server.

I have to say that there are a lot of pitfalls here, which makes me, a novice who comes into contact with the server for the first time, confused. After configuring the server, deploying a Laravel project is even more difficult, so I wanted to record the process of deploying the Laravel project.

PS: Linux is really a system that feels better the more you use it. You should install Linux on your desktop computer to type code when you go home.

Environment Introduction

In terms of the choice of operating system, I chose the Linux ubuntu16.04 system and used the LNMP environment, that is, Linux + Nginx + Mysql + PHP environment.

Delete Apache

sudo service apache2 stop
update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
sudo apt-get remove apache2

Use these three commands to delete Apaceh first and then update the package list

sudo apt-get update

1. Install Nginx

sudo apt-get install nginx

After installing Nginx, you need to restart nginx

sudo service nginx start

After execution, enter the public IP assigned to you by the cloud server in the browser, and you can see the welcome to nginx The interface is

2. During the installation of Mysql

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

, you will be prompted to set the Mysql password, just like the usual password settings, enter it once and confirm it once. After the password is confirmed, the installation will basically take a while. Try

mysql -u root -p

If the login is successful, Mysql is installed correctly.

3. Install PHP

sudo apt-get install php5-fpm php5-cli php5-mcrypt

Only through php5-fpm, PHP can run normally under Nginx, so install it.

As for php5-mcrypt, some PHP frameworks will depend on this, such as Laravel, so it is also installed.

Off topic, I installed php7 myself during deployment of php5 here. If you want to try it, you can also try it.

4. Configure PHP

sudo vim /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

Open the PHP configuration file, find the cgi.fix_pathinfo option, remove the comment semicolon; in front of it, and then Set its value to 0, as follows

cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

5. Enable php5-mcrypt:

sudo php5enmod mcrypt

6.Restart php5-fpm:

sudo service php5-fpm restart

After setting up the LEMP environment, you must first clarify two important directories

Nginx’s default root folder

##/usr/ share/nginx/html

The directory where Nginx’s server configuration file is located

/etc/nginx/sites-available/

Just remember the above two directories, they are very commonly used, let’s put them out first

The following is a step-by-step deployment of Laravel on the cloud server

1. Create the root directory of the website

sudo mkdir -p /var/www

2. Configure the nginx server

sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Open the nginx configuration After the file, find the server section, which probably looks like this

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  index index.html index.htm;

  server_name localhost;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
}

The lines of root, index, server_name and location need to be slightly modified

root modification

root /var/www/laravel/public;

Here is to point the root directory of the nginx server to Laravel's public folder. We will place the subsequent Laravel project code in the /var/www/laravel directory we created before.

index modification

index index.php index.html index.htm;

What needs to be noted here is that index.php is ranked first

server_name modification

server_name server_domain_or_IP;

Modify server_domain_or_IP to your public IP

location modification

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

After modification, it will look like this:

server {
 listen 80 default_server;
 listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

 root /var/www/laravel/public;
 index index.php index.html index.htm;

 server_name server_domain_or_IP;

 location / {
   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
 }
}

Finally we still need to configure it Nginx, let it execute the PHP file. Also in this file, add the following configuration under location:

server {
 listen 80 default_server;
 listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

 root /var/www/laravel/public;
 index index.php index.html index.htm;

 server_name server_domain_or_IP;

 location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
 }

 location ~ \.php$ {
  try_files $uri /index.php =404;
  fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  include fastcgi_params;
 }
}

Note that the bottom

location ~ \.php$ was added by yourself:

After configuring, restart Nginx to make the above configuration items take effect.

sudo service nginx restart

3. Create a Laravel project

After configuring nginx, how to

get the Laravel project code? There are several methods:

(1). Direct composer installation

Install directly through composer. You can execute

cd ~
curl -sS getcomposer.org/installer | php

on the server. The above command will install composer.

Composer is used globally:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Then execute it directly in the /var/www directory

sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel

Because we created the /var/www directory before, you can directly cd /var /www and then execute the above command. Then wait for the installation to complete.

(2). Upload the code directly

Use the following command to upload

scp -r laravel root@your_IP:

Then move laravel to the /var/www directory on the server

sudo mv laravel/ /var/www

(3). Use Git and Coding platform

I personally prefer to use git to upload code, which can easily update the code and roll back. Once the version When bugs are updated, I can use Git's powerful version management capabilities to fix them. The process is roughly like this:

Local code---->Github---->Cloud server

既然要使用git，那么先在云服务器上安装git：

sudo apt-get install git

安装完成就可以使用git了，然后在Github上创建一个私有项目laravel，里面包含所有该Laravel项目所需代码。

一旦本地代码都推送到Coding，然后在/var/www目录下直接使用

git clone your-project-git-link

your-project-git-link替换为你Github上的laravel项目地址

5.BINGO

在浏览器输入：server_domain_or_IP

至此，你可以在服务器上随意地用Laravel了,keep coding!
