Detail guide on the application usage is discussed in the User Guide Documentation, please find the file named UserGuide.html

In case you want to install the application under a sub domain, there is a additional minor step to implement, rest of the process is similar as discussed under section using cPanel, Plesk or other control panel , here the additional step.

Sub Domain Root Directory Path

When registering a sub domain, make sure the root directory path points to the your-subdomain-directory/public

After updating the path, you can continue with the setup process by navigating to the your-subdomain/setup from your desired web browser.

Step 1

Install and configure a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). If your server comes with Ubuntu OS you can use this guide, for other operating systems find the corresponding manual.

Important

Make sure that URL rewrite is enabled. You can do it by running the following command:

a2enmod rewrite

Also make sure that .htaccess files are allowed (AllowOverride directive is set to All) either globally or in the virtual host config file. To enable it on the virtual host level add the following block to the virtual host config file (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mywebsite.conf):

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ...

  <Directory /var/www/mywebsite.com/>
    Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Please note that you need to restart the Apache service after making configuration changes.

Nginx web server

If you are deploying your application to a server that is running Nginx web server, please read this guide.

Step 2

Create a new MySQL database, create a new user and add the user to the database. You can do so by logging in to MySQL as root and running the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE cf_db CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; CREATE USER 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password123'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON user.* TO 'user'@'localhost';

Step 3

Download the application zip package from CodeCanyon, upload it to the web root folder of your domain and unzip.

Important

Make sure that the user your web server is running under (usually www-data) has read and write access to the application files and folders. The easiest way to set it up is to make the www-data user owner of the application files and folders recursively. It can be done as follows (assuming /var/www/mywebsite.com is the web root folder):

cd /var/www chown -R www-data mywebsite.com

Step 4

Now in root folder of the app open .env file and update the following:

APP_URL=your-url-here APP_INSTALLED=true DB_DATABASE=your-database-name-here DB_USERNAME=your-database-username-here DB_PASSWORD=your-database-password-here

Step 5

Now from server open phpmyadmin go to your database. Select import and choose the file database.sql located in database/database.sql

Now app is ready to be run on the browser.
Default Login Credentials:
Admin: Email: admin@gmail.com | Password: 123456789
In case you installed the application under a subdomain, make sure that root directory should be pointed at your-subdomain-directory/public

Now you can Login into the application, in case any issue try to add complete url like, your-subdomain/login

For local development setup please go through the Laravel offical documentation, the steps are similar. All source files are included, you can customize the application easily as per your need.
