$ cd /var/www $ git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git
Navigate to Laravel code directory and use composer to install all dependencies required for Laravel framework.
$ cd /var/www/laravel $ sudo composer install
Dependencies installation will take some time. After than set proper permissions on files.
$ chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/laravel $ chmod -R 755 /var/www/laravel $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/app/storage
Now you have to set the encryption key :
Now set the 32 bit long random number encryption key, which used by the Illuminate encrypter service.
$ php artisan key:generate Application key [uOHTNu3Au1Kt7Uloyr2Py9blU0J5XQ75] set successfully.
Now edit config/app.php configuration file and update above generated application key as followings. Also make sure cipher is set properly.
'key' => env('APP_KEY', 'uOHTNu3Au1Kt7Uloyr2Py9blU0J5XQ75'), 'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',
Next step is creating Apache VirtualHost
Now add a Virtual Host in your Apache configuration file to access Laravel framework from web browser. Create Apache configuration file under /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory and add below content.
$ nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/laravel.example.com.conf
You'll either need to be a root or super user to edit it
ServerName laravel.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/public <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/laravel> AllowOverride All </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log LogLevel warn CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
After you're done , press CTRL+X and type in Y and press Enter
Finally lets enable website and reload Apache service using below command.
$ a2ensite laravel.example.com $ sudo service apache2 reload
Final step:
Accessing laravel
$ sudo echo "127.0.0.1 laravel.example.com" >> /etc/hosts
And access http://laravel.example.com in your favorite web browser as below.
In your case, you move the websites to /var/www/ and you can already view it.
You can also CHOWN Vagrant on Laravel directory as well.
