Hi all,
How to install Laravel on DirectAdmin server.
What is Laravel?
Laravel is an open-source PHP framework used to build websites and apps. It contains all the necessary components and features to help web developers create a website using the PHP scripting language. It is important to note that Laravel isn’t the only framework available to PHP developers. In fact, other popular PHP frameworks include Symfony, CodeIgniter and Yii (just to name a few). And if we venture outside the PHP zone, there’s even more frameworks available, such as Rails which is based on the Ruby language, .NET which uses C#, or Sails.js, a Javascript framework.
Requirements:
step 1. SSH into your server and update your system and install the nessesery packages
step 2. Install Composer

Step 5. Install Laravel
This will be done using the composer command, important that you keep the . at the end.

Go to step 6b if you use a subdomain to install Laravel in
Step 6a. Change the document root to /public
1. Login as an Admin into your server.
2. Go to Server Manager --> Custom HTTPD Configurations
3. Look for the domain you want to change the docroot for.

Step 6b. Change the document root to /public for a subdomain
1. Login as the User into your server.
2. Go to Account Manager --> Subdomain Management
3. Where you see Docroot click on the pencil on the right of it and add
Now you should be able to see the Laravel welcome page when you visit your domain.
Note that it can take a small amount of time to update your HTTPD.conf so you will not see the change the next second.
