Basic Server Setup

🕒 Estimated Reading Time: 2 minute
This guide explains how to deploy your Laravel application to a web server so it can be accessed online through a browser.

🚀 Step-by-Step Deployment Guide

Step 1: Upload the Project Files to the Server

1. Download the project ZIP file from your CodeCanyon account and extract it on your computer.
2. Open the extracted folder and go to:
3. streamit_app_source_code → admin-panel
4. Log in to your hosting cPanel → File Manager and open the public_html directory.
5. Upload the admin-panel ZIP file inside the public_html directory using File Manager.

Step 2: Extract the ZIP File

1. After uploading, right-click the ZIP file in File Manager
2. Click Extract
3. This will unpack all project files into the public_html folder

Step 3: Create a New MySQL Database

1. Go to cPanel → MySQL Databases
2. Create a new database (choose any name)
3. Save the database name — you will need it during setup

Step 4: Create a Database User & Assign It

1. In MySQL Databases, create a new database user
2. Set a username and strong password
3. Assign this user to the database you created
4. Grant All Privileges to the user

✅ Deployment Successful

After completing the steps above, open your domain URL in a browser.
Your Laravel application should now be live and accessible online.

💡 Tips & Important Notes

• If you are using a custom directory instead of public_html, upload and extract the project there instead
• Make sure to update the .env file with the correct:
  • Database Name
  • Database Username
  • Database Password
• If you encounter any errors, check cPanel → Error Logs for more details

Your basic Laravel server setup is now complete 🎉
