Deploy Laravel Project into Hostinger (Shared Hosting) - ZsN Paper

Laravel contains a lot of files and folders, especially in /vendor directory. If we would attempt to upload every file manually either over FTP either over our built-in File Manager it would take a lifetime.

Having that said, the best way to quickly upload your Laravel project to Hostinger is to: archive it, upload the archived content, extract it, and then apply whatever changes are necessary.

1. Compress all files and folder on your main project folder except node_modules folder. 

*Important: If you're using Linux distro make sure .env file and other dots files are visible.

2. Go to File manager and upload the compressed project.

*important: Upload outside public_html folder

3. After the file has been uploaded, click on the file and hit ‘Extract’

4. We can make a custom folder name to our extracted folder

5. After finish extracting project file, go to our extracted directory > public. Move all file and folder inside public folder into public_html

6. Edit index.php to configure the file.

Change

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

Into

 require __DIR__.'/../{extracted_directory}/vendor/autoload.php';

 $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../{extracted_directory}/bootstrap/app.php';

7. That’s it! You have successfully deployed your Laravel project into Hostinger.
