Date posted: 31-10-2017

Assumptions:-

We assume you have the following server setup

Installing Laravel

Install composer

apt-get install composer

Download the Laravel installer using Composer:

composer global require "laravel/installer"

Export laravel binary to env PATH, so that you can access it via commandline
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin

Change your directory to domain’s document root public_html
cd /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/

Install Laravel with all of Laravel’s dependencies, this command will create a folder
called blog with necessary files.
laravel new blog

Apply ownership to folders and files
chown -R admin: blog

Apply write permission to storage & bootstrap/cache folders
cd blog
chmod 775 storge
chmod 775 bootstrap/cache

Change domain document root to public folder in nginx.conf

vi /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf

Find
root /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html;

Change to
root /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/blog/public;

If you are using Nginx, the following directive in your site configuration will direct all requests to the index.php front controller:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

Verify nginx configuration
nginx -t

Restart Nginx service
/etc/init.d/nginx restart

Verify your domain http://domain.com/

In case you need to use redis as backend cache. You need to install it first.

apt-get install php-redis

Enable redis extension in php.ini

extension=redis.so;

Restart nginx & php-fpm services

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

/etc/init.d/php7.1-fpm restart
