To Install Laravel On Ubuntu 22.04

Introduction

Laravel is a free and open-source PHP web framework designed to facilitate the development of robust and scalable web applications. It builds upon the widely-used Symfony framework and offers a straightforward, user-friendly approach to coding. As a backend framework, Laravel encompasses a comprehensive set of features necessary for developing modern web applications, including routing, validation, caching, queuing, file storage, and additional functionalities.

Procedure

Step1: Check the OS version using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Step 4: For Laravel to work we need Apache , to install Apache use the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# sudo apt install apache2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libflashrom1 libftdi1-2 libllvm13 libwpe-1.0-1 libwpebackend-fdo-1.0-1
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap
Suggested packages:
  apache2-doc apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/apache2.service → /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/apache-htcacheclean.service → /lib/systemd/system/apache-htcacheclean.service.
Processing triggers for ufw (0.36.1-4ubuntu0.1) ...
Rules updated for profile 'Samba'

Processing triggers for man-db (2.10.2-1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.35-0ubuntu3.8) ...

Step 5: Start the Apache using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl start apache2

Step 6: Enable the Apache using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl enable apache2
Synchronizing state of apache2.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable apache2

Step 7: Laravel relies on PHP, and composer is dependency manager for PHP , install PHP with dependencies using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# sudo apt install php8.1-fpm php8.1-mysql php8.1-gd php8.1-bcmath php8.1-cli php8.1-curl php8.1-mbstring php8.1-zip  php8.1-opcache php8.1-xml

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libflashrom1 libftdi1-2 libllvm13 libwpe-1.0-1 libwpebackend-fdo-1.0-1
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libonig5 libzip4 php-common php8.1-common php8.1-readline
Suggested packages:
  php-pear
Creating config file /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini with new version
NOTICE: Not enabling PHP 8.1 FPM by default.
NOTICE: To enable PHP 8.1 FPM in Apache2 do:
NOTICE: a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif

NOTICE: You are seeing this message because you have apache2 package installed.

Step8: Composer is a vital PHP dependency manager designed to simplify the process of downloading PHP libraries for our project , use the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# curl -ss https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...

Composer (version 2.7.7) successfully installed to: /usr/bin/composer

Step9: Check composer installation by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# composer

Step14: Go to Apache2 site configuration location using the below command

root@linuxhelp:/var/www/html/linuxhelp-project# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

Step15: Create new configuration file named laravel.conf using the below command

root@linuxhelp:/etc/apache2/sites-available# touch laravel.conf

Step16: Edit the laravel configuration file using the below command,

root@linuxhelp:/etc/apache2/sites-available# vim laravel.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
Servername 192.168.6.133
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/linuxhelp-project/public

<Directory /var/www/html/linuxhelp-project>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Step17: Enable new virtualhost by running the below command

root@linuxhelp:/etc/apache2/sites-available# a2ensite laravel.conf
Enabling site laravel.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  systemctl reload apache2

Step18: Check the syntax using the below command

root@linuxhelp:/etc/apache2/sites-available# apachectl -t
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

Step19: Reload Apache using the below command

root@linuxhelp:/etc/apache2/sites-available# systemctl reload apache2
