Laravel deployment struggles

[dijkr]

Routes --> Apache config

<Directory "/var/www/html/Copia-master">
    AllowOverride All
    # Allow open access:
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Database

• Load views, also when there is no data
• Config te connection within the .env file. Its Git ignored, so use the env.example

Dependencies Install Composer Install npm Build npm / vite

CMS The asset-container does not contain images. When upload, they still won't be display in the view.

Selinux Blocks parts of the website, of when new items are added. Needs to configured properly.

Database / controller Above steps actually made the website available without errors. https://github.com/dijkr/Copia/issues/29 still is a issue, since the homepage / home needs data or it won't load. That problem is seperated from this one.

Database The foreign key issue still needs to be resolved, since they should be set when running a migration I guess?

Update Is had to do with the license. Its not allowed to run a production server without a paid pro-license. Also it seems the .env file need the actual IP, and not local host. Not sure tho, but its solved.

CMS Upload images to the CMS and test if they display correctly within the view.

The CMS loads imagaes from this location @ deployment server: <img src="http://localhost/storage/banner_food.jpeg"/>

Development server: <img src="/images/banners/banner_food.jpeg">

This is weird, because with this, I need to add /images to the view at the deployment server, but not at the development server.

Change this to improve a deployment: Also upload the asset container of the CMS to Github. What location?

/public/build
/public/hot
/public/storage

Also check locations like /storage. Some folders has a .gitignore file stored in it.

With the third deployment, everything went smooth, except npm run build was not allowed to run, because there was a problem with the permissions for Vite. It was solved by reinstalling npm.

rm node_modules/ -rf
npm install

With Red Hat @ Azure, the user need sudo. That is an issue with composer. Its possible with sudo. Daarnaast is er een versie mismatch. Development server (Alma Linux 9.1) node v16.18.1 en RHEL 8 node v10.24.0

The solution was to install v16: dnf module list nodejs dnf module install nodejs:16/common

Selinux This will configure Selinux, so it won't block content anymore: chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/copia.nl setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1 setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db on

Now testing with premade httpd.conf, what still needs work is:

• General script for LAMP-stack
• .env
• MariaDB config
• Database statements into a script And keep checking is Vite is running wel, or else is end up in a 500 error on the total page.

Update: Vite is failing with installing, so npm run build fail, need to run the code to avoid a 500 error rm node_modules/ -rf npm install npm run build

Files to pack to the git-download

• script to install the LAMP-stack
• add a customized .env and httpd.conf
• images for Statamic
• script to seed the database
