An easy way for you to use Laravel 4 on shared hosting, without command line access
Like all good things, this package is installed using Composer. Just add the following to your composer.json
"require": {
"patrick-rose/laravel-shared-host": "dev-master"
}Then just run composer update and Composer will do the heavy
lifting.
Then you just need to tell Laravel to load the files. Go into
app/config/app.php and add this to your provider's array:
providers => array(
'PatrickRose\LaravelSharedHost\LaravelSharedHostServiceProvider',
);When you get around to deploying your application, upload
everything (including your vendor folder). Now, go into
/vendor/patrick-rose/laravel-shared-host/src/config/config.php,
and set activated to true. You'll now have a few routes to go
to, but the important one is:
http://[yoursite]/patrickrose-sharedhost-index
You'll be asked for a password, which is your application key by default. Then you can run the commands that you need to run.
Note that currently, if something goes wrong an error message is thrown.
When you're finished, REMOVE ACCESS TO THIS PAGE. Although no
user input is needed, it's probably wise to not let this be open.
Removing access is as simple as setting activated to false
