Getting Started

Clone the repository.

>> Prerequisites

  • PHP version 7.2.34
  • *MySQL version 8.0.33
  • Composer version 2.3.8

*This app uses MySQL. To use something different, open config/Database.php and change the default driver.

To use MySQL, install and setup a database and then add your database credentials(database, username and password) to the .env.example file.

>> Installing Composer Dependencies

Install Laravel's dependencies using Composer:

composer install
  • In case there is error:

    • Delete composer.lock file. (if exists)

    • Delete vendor directory. (if exists)

    • Clear Cache:
      Run the following commands to clear various Laravel caches:

      php artisan config:clear
      php artisan cache:clear
      php artisan route:clear
      php artisan view:clear
      composer clear-cache
      
    • Run composer install again.

    • Check Composer Autoload:

      composer dump-autoload
      

>> .env configuration file

cp .env.example .env

>> Generating application key:

php artisan key:generate

>> Configuring The Environment:

Open the .env file in a text editor and configure the database settings, application URL, email (or mailtrap values), admin account values, pusher values and any other necessary environment variables for example:

  • email values, eg:

    MAIL_MAILER=smtp
    MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
    MAIL_PORT=587
    MAIL_USERNAME=site_email@site.com
    MAIL_PASSWORD=YourEmailPassword
    MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
    MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=site_email@site.com
    MAIL_FROM_NAME=OPH
    
  • pusher values, eg:

    PUSHER_APP_ID=YourPusherAppID
    PUSHER_APP_KEY=YourPusherAppKey
    PUSHER_APP_SECRET=YourPusherAppSecret
    

    OR login to https://pusher.com/ to create all new app and get the above values. Instructions to integrate pusher will be available there, but here is the outline to verify:

    1. Put pusher credentials in .env file.
    2. Also replace pusher app key in home.blade.php inside <script> eg:
      var pusher = new Pusher('YourPusherAppKey', {
      cluster: 'EnterClusterValue'
      });
      
  • admin values, eg:

    ADMIN_NAME="Some Admin Name"
    ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@site.com
    ADMIN_PASSWORD=AdminPassword
    

>> Migrations

Two Options:

  • Option 1:
    All database tables can be imported:
    OPH_sql_import1/ALL_PRESENT_TABLES_EXPORT/oph.sql

  • Option 2:
    Using artisan for Database Migrations:

    1. To create all the necessary tables and columns, run the following:
      php artisan migrate
      
    2. Import 'countries.sql', 'states.sql', 'cities.sql', 'courses.sql', 'designations.sql', 'industries.sql', 'skills.sql', 'specializations.sql', 'messages.sql' values to the database.
      (If required, delete the previously existing respective tables)
      • ALL these .sql files are directly available here inside 'OPH_sql_import1'

>> Seeding The Database

To add admin data, run:

php artisan db:seed --force

>> Creating symlink

Create symlink from public/storage directory to storage/app/public directory which will make files stored in the storage/app/public directory accessible from the web by creating a virtual link in the public directory of this project.

php artisan storage:link

>> Installing JavaScript Dependencies and building frontend assets

npm install && npm run dev

>> Running The Development Server:

In the Terminal, navigate to the project directory if not already there.
Start the Laravel development server:

php artisan serve

>> Accessing The Laravel App:

  • Open a web browser.
  • Visit the URL displayed in the Terminal after starting the development server.
    By default, it's usually http://127.0.0.1:8000.
