INSTALL ON LOCALHOST

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

cp composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Clone the localmat repository

git clone https://github.com/detrito/localmat

Install laravel framework and other dependencies

cd localmat

composer install

chmod -R a+w app/storage/

Configure MySQL (or another database)

mysql -u root -h localhost -p

CREATE DATABASE mydbname;

GRANT ALL ON mydbname.* TO 'myusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

edit app/config/database.php

Populate database

php artisan migrate

php artisan db:seed

Enjoy

php artisan serve

firefox localhost:8000

INSTALL ON REMOTE SERVER

It is easier to first install and test LocalMat on a localhost: you can then simply upload the files and the database backup on the remote server.

Install on webserver with virtual host

Laravel works better when configured to run on a virtual host, with the document root pointed to the /public folder. [Here] (https://github.com/daylerees/laravel-website-configs) some server configuration files to get Laravel running on a number of web servers. The [Laravel official documentation] (http://laravel.com/docs/installation) may also be a very useful resource.

Install on shared webserver

If the hosting environnement does not allow allows you to change your document root path to your /public folder, you can try [one of these 3 solutions] (http://forumsarchive.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=1258).

For an intallation on an Apache webserver with a subdomain I used solution 2 with the following .htaccess file placed in the upload directory (in this case localmat).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect to static content
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/localmat/public/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /public/$1 [L]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/index.php/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

MCRYPT

mcrypt is depcrecated since php 7.1 and doesn't work since php 7.2 http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration71.deprecated.php

Laravel 4.2 has a hardcoded check for the mcrypt extension, so that installation with php > 7.1 is complicated http://medium.com/@tomgrohl/making-laravel-4-2-work-with-php-7-2-e9149a9428c3 http://medium.com/@tomgrohl/an-php-7-1-encrypter-for-laravel-4-2-932112405a45
