I have a existing laravel project that I have been working on for a while now.
I have to put it in a test environnement to show it to my employer.
My problem is that I have no clue how to use my git repo of the project to put it on a fresh installation of wamp server.
1 - I have tried to install it as a whole but failed.
2- Then, I tried creating a fresh copy of Laravel base architecture (that worked) and after, replacing the files I modified on my existing project over on the fresh Laravel project. Turns out, it can not find my login.php page and I am stuck at that point.
So I want to find the easiest way to clone a git repo with an existing Laravel project directly on a wamp server and make it work.
I have been trying for several weeks, please help me.
Thanks
Okay, here are some simple steps to create a copy of your Laravel5 project on another server:
Setup the server (Databases, PHP and so on) and install Composer. If you are local, composer should already be installed
Clone the repository and copy the content to the htdocs or var/www folder, depending on your server system
Now execute composer update to load all dependencies
Last but not least, setup your .env file. Use the .env.example from Laravel5, add your credentials, generate a key with php artisan key:generate
That's it. Now your Laravel5 project should run.

I am totally new to PHP / Laravel / Linux / composer / docker etc.
However I do have the task: go retrieve some code files from an internal server and make a docker container out of it. The project is written in PHP 7.1.3 and uses the Laravel framework.
I've copied the whole https folder from the server which I think contains everything I need.
I also was able to create the example app from the Laravel documentation and also I made a brand new Laravel project. However, is there any chance to "generate" a new project using all the code files I have right now?
I even have a composer.json and composer.lock file, which in my opinion should "list" every component I would need in my docker installation, right?
What also bugs me is that I can't even get the project working on my dev machine...
I think you should do this step by step. But let me first answer some of your questions.
If "https" folder contains similar folder structure like fresh Laravel installation, it is likely to be all of it. But we can not be sure about it.
As far as i know there is no way to generate new project out of your files. First of all you need to know which Laravel version project uses. It must be stated at composer.json.
In you composer.json file lists required packages for you project. When you install them this packages are installed folder called vendor
Here is my suggestions;
As you stated it seems you are very new about these topics if someone give these task to you its not a smart way to teach this kind of topics.
I think you have to start with running project in your local machine. If you get errors than ask them in a new question. Most likely you need database and you need to know running migrations seeds etc.
When you manage to run the project you can start dockerizing your project. If your project is build with newer versions of laravel you can easly use sail otherwise you can build own dockerfile or upgrade laravel to newer versions.
Your problem is too broad, i think you cannot find answers to such question.
Five months ago I created a pretty extensive Laravel Blog Management system. I am now at a point where I am looking for a job and would like for potential employers to be able to easily install and run my project to check it out. I want to include instructions in the readme.md on how to get it started but I've just realized that I can't figure out how to run it myself!
Here is the repository: https://github.com/colesam/Laravel-Blog
Here is what I've tried:
git clone git#github.com:colesam/Laravel-Blog.git
composer install
php artisan serve
This copied the repo into my xampp/htdocs directory and ran it. XAMPP is currently running with MySQL and Apache running.
The console responds by telling me it's being served on localhost:8000. Unfortunately I receive an error message on the actual html doc:
What is going wrong with my project and how can I make this as easy as possible for my potential employers / anyone who would like to download and check out my project?
It's really easy actually. Takes about ~5 minutes. Here are the steps:
Clone the project
Create a database
Copy .env.example to .env and set the correct database credentials
Run php artisan key:generate to generate the app key
Run php artisan migrate to create the tables
Run php artisan serve
And you're done.
Disclaimer: I'm new to this git thing.
I have made a fresh repository and pushed an standard, empty symfony2 project to it.
Now I have cloned my repo to another folder to test if I can set it up correctly. So far I can't...
The problem is I'm missing some folders such as cache and vendor as these are ignored in the .gitignore.
So when I try to run $ composer update I get an error since it tries to clear the cache folder which doesn't exist...
Anyone who can explain in simple terms how to setup a freshly cloned standard symfony2 project?
It seems the only problem was the missing bin folder. I made a new symfony project, copy/pasted its bin into my cloned project and ran $ composer install as pr. Cerads advice. Then everything went smooth.
i just cloned a project from bitbucket with sourcetree. Now i am trying to run it with laravel. I started my cmd with administrator rights and i am in the right directory of the project. Now when i try to do the 'composer update' command i get this error in my command line :
i know this topic was been discussed before but i couldn't find the answer in them for me. This must have something to do with the fact that me and my friend are making this laravel project together and we are using source tree with bitbucket as a version control system , he can run the project on his computer but when i pull it , it stopped working. Is there annything i need to keep in in mind when using laravel with git ?
I had the same problem when i cloned the repository from github.
what id did is
Composer Install
using the terminal in my app directory. It worked A1!
hope this helps
You may have to use composer install because laravel by default exludes the following directories from git:
/vendor
/node_modules
.env
Which could be causing your error
Another similar question was asked here covering the same error: Laravel 4: Fatal error: Class 'Patchwork\Utf8\Bootup' not found in autoload.php
While installing laravel through terminal command, my other projects in MAMP htdocs folder got affected and they are not working.
I followed this process for installing laravel
Those directions have you symlink the "htdocs" directory to your laravel install, effectively making your htdocs directly useful only for Laravel.
You should avoid this, perhaps by creating a symlink from your laravel build to a directory within htdocs. For example, linking to a directory in htdocs called "mylaravelapp": ln -s /path/to/laravel-master /path/to/htdocs/mylaravelapp.
Lastly, consider using Vagrant or another virtual machine provider instead of MAMP for a server. You'll have to get through a learning curve (potentially), but you'll end up better for it. This creates a virtual server for you, which won't interact with any other parts of your Mac (YOu can make a server per project!).
Here is a guide to get started with Laravel 4 and Vagrant.
