Move Laravel project to another system - php

I tried to move my laravel 4.1 project from my office system to my personal laptop and I have tried it using various methods:
1) git and bitbucket
2) zipped whole folder and copy
3) using composer install/update on laptop directory to update my dependencies
Neither of the above has worked for me.
I do see my landing page but on clicking any link, it shows:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Seems like some routing error but I do see my index page. Thanks in advance.

It must be a problem with the url rewriting on your system . make sure you fix your htaccess/nginx directives . and also make sure configurations such as mod_rewrite is enabled .
In future try using laravel homestead , so that you have consistent environment across various workstations. It's the recommended way of working using laravel.

Unable to run TYPO3 website to localhost

Currently I will upload a website to a server, but before I upload it I want to run this website on my localhost (I'm using XAMPP).
They gave me an archive containing the website files, based on the structure of the webfiles I realize TYPO3 is used.
Since I never tried using TYPO3, I tried installing it I followed this steps:
here
After the installation I run the sample, so far I don't have a problem running it on my web browser.
But when I tried to run the website that I need to upload
I'm getting an error.
here are the files inside the archive.
Here is after I extract it. As you can see I wasn't able to extract typo3_src which is the target location of index.php, t3lib and typo3 file that are all both in .symlink type.
And also the typo3 is not in folder type unlike the sample I run.
I'm not sure if the archive is broken/corrupted or I need something to do first before it will work. Can someone please help me regarding this issue?
You do not need to deal with those unix symlinks at all.
Just figure out or ask the person who provided you with that system, which version of TYPO3 you need to use.
Then go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/typo3/files/TYPO3%20Source%20and%20Dummy/ and download the appropriate zip package.
Decompress the package, delete all symlinks (typo3, t3lib, index.php) and just copy the corresponding resources from the package.
You then need to deal with the database and database connection settings in typo3conf/localconf.php or typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.
If it all works, you can then upload it like this to the server without using any symlinks.

Problems when moving Symfony3 app from dev to production server

I've created a web application using Symfony 3. In the development environment, I always use Symfony's built-in server and just use the command "php bin/console server:run". The app can then be accessed via "localhost:8000".
I've also defined routes using annotations in Controllers such as "/", "/about" etc. These pages can be accessed via "localhost:8000/" and "localhost:8000/about". Other links on the page that point to routes like "/contact" or "/users/1" also work perfectly. They will link to "localhost:8000/contact" and "localhost:8000/users/1".
Now, I move my application to the production server. On the production server, Apache2 is installed and some other people have developed Symfony applications on it. Their apps can be accessed via url like "example.com/apps/app1/web/app_dev.php" and the links on their apps have been pre-appended with "example.com/apps/app1/web/app_dev.php" automatically. So when the user clicks a button that links to "/contact", the link will direct to "example.com/apps/app1/web/app_dev.php/contact".
Now, when I move my application named "app2" under the "example.com/apps/" directory, I can visit "example.com/apps/app2/web/app_dev.php" without any configuration and see my homepage perfectly. Apache can automatically pick up my code. However all the links on the homepage will direct to "example.com/contact" instead of "example.com/apps/app2/web/app_dev.php/contact".
Can anyone help me with this? I'm pretty new with Symfony and Apache.
Or perhaps I've done the migration from dev to production environment in a totally wrong way? Any new ideas or proper way to move Symfony3 application to production server?
Thanks a lot!
Do you have apache configured correctly? You may need to have a virtualhost configuration added to the server. You can find out about it on the Symfony site for the specifics.
I finally solved the issue. I should use href="{{ path('about') }}" instead of href="/about" in all twig templates. Thanks everybody!

Using laravel in a subdirectory, without root access

A year ago, I decided to go with codeigniter instead of laravel, because codeigniter prooved to be easier to setup. I am now preparing for my next project and it seems as if codeigniter is now obsolete (at least most of the people seem to recommend laravel over codeigniter).
Now to my problem: I use a virtual ubuntu machine for developing web apps so I have a dev environment similar to the production environment (this helps me to avoid some problems (especially case-sensitivity...;)))
I installed composer and laravel and created a new laravel project named "quickstart" in /var/www/quickstart. I then followed their "getting started guide" (here: Guide). So far everything worked.
But here come the problems:
I have two other web applications in /var/www, so when I enter the ip of the machine I see the 3 directories.
Issue 1:
Normaly I'd expect that as soon as if I click on the "quickstart"-Directory in my browser, the webapp would get displayed, but I have to click a second time on "public", and then the webapp is displayed.
Issue 2: Of course, the links on the page are wrong too, because they reeer to (for example) "/task", which can't be found on the server.
The problem is that I'm not really experienced with apache configuration. I suspect it has something to do with VirtualHosts, but AFAIK you need to have root access to configure virtual hosts, and I do not have root rights on the dev environment.
Could you point out a way to me how I can make laravel work in a subdirectory in a way that I can just move the files and folders to my hoster as soon as I have finished the project? I'd like to then change only one file, and not all paths and URLs in all files ;)
Regards,
Christian
Thanks to Bogdan, I was able to figure it out. My hoster allows symlinks, so I did it like so:
I put the laravel installation in
/srv/web/quickstart
(quickstart is the name of the project). I then created the following symlink:
ln -s /srv/web/quickstart/public /srv/web/www/public
The document root of the apache is configured to
/srv/web/www/public
After that I just got a blank page. That was because I forgot to set the correct permissions on the storage-folder. So I set the following permissions
chmod -R 777 /srv/web/quickstart/storage
This is fine for a development environment. For production I'd recommend to only allow the webserver-user to write into that directory.
And voilĂ : Everything works!
Thank you for your help bogdan.

laravel when going to address I see folders, not starting the app

I am having xampp.
I installed laravel using composer, and there is directory 'laravel-test'
When I go to
http://[localhost]/laravel-test/
then I just see folders.
But when I go to some other - like http://[localhost]/darzelis/ which is written on codeigniter, it works. So it means xammp is working, but somehow laravel does not start.
I am going though http://laravel.com/docs/quick
and am stuck after creating first route - users.
Mate, firstly Laravel's entry point is the /public/ directory. It contains the index.php file, try pointing your browser to http://[localhost]/laravel-test/public to check if things work.
Seeing the folders is also dependable on you server configuration, it's good to block that Apache behaviour.
Last but not least, deploying laravel in production environment , make sure that the users can access ONLY the public directory not the whole structure of your laravel folder (in your case laravel-test), which again is dependable on the Apache configuration (vhost doc root).

Trying to run a Symfony project on my computer

I'm trying to run a Symfony project that I cloned from a GitHub. I've never used Symfony before but I'd like to run the project.
I read you needed to run frontend_dev.php so I ran that in to my browser:
C:\Users\Computer\Desktop\Project\WebInterface\web\frontend_dev.php
But just got a blank page with some PHP on it. I believe I may have to set up a web server but I'm not sure and figured I'd ask here first.
If I wanted to run the project from my computer, would I just download an Apache server and drop it in the root directory? What variables and files would I need to change to get it working properly? Do I need to forward any ports?
Symfony 1.x branch is not supported anymore. Use Symfony 2.
Anyway, concerning your question: here is the doc for 1.4: Day 1: Starting up the Project
