How to install a Laravel script on cPanel

Most of our Laravel scripts include a web installer, so you can go live on any cPanel hosting in about 10 minutes.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher (select it in cPanel › Select PHP Version / MultiPHP Manager)
• Extensions: pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, gd, zip, fileinfo, curl
• MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+

Step 1 – Create a database

1. Open cPanel › MySQL® Databases.
2. Create a new database and a new user with a strong password.
3. Add the user to the database with ALL PRIVILEGES.

Step 2 – Upload the files

1. Open File Manager › public_html.
2. Upload the product ZIP and click Extract.
3. Make sure files like artisan, index.php and the public folder are directly inside public_html.

Step 3 – Run the installer

Visit https://yourdomain.com/install, enter your database details, create the admin account and click Install.

Step 4 – Secure your site

• Enable AutoSSL in cPanel for HTTPS.
• Change the default admin URL in Settings › Security.
