Multiple projects using Laravel

Question

I recently installed Laravel and created a project on my webserver. I had to create a symbolic link for public_html to the public folder inside the Laravel folder. I realized that if I wanted to create another project, how would I do that?

I used to use CodeIgniter and setup was just placing it in a folder and typing the www.url.com/project1 www.url.com/project2 to access the different projects

You can use laravel modules, each module have its own controller, routes, views. For more info xfer: nwidart.com/laravel-modules/v1/introduction — Omi

Hi there, thanks for answering. It's a little strange that I would have to use an external package to get this to work? Are there any other ways? — JianYA

Can you configure the server? You can probably use an alias in the config instead of a symlink to the configured document root, or configure rewrites. — Steve Buzonas

Basically each laravel installation comes with a public folder. The public folder contains the index.php file, which is the entry point for all requests entering your application. This directory also houses your assets such as images, JavaScript, and CSS.

If you want to put laravel on sub directory, you will have access to sub directory's public folder. For example, www.url.com/project2/public

But a better solution of this is to create a sub domain and point the directory path to public_html/project2/public so you will have a working laravel on URL like this, www.project2.url.com

This is shared hosting solution and works for all laravel versions.

Hi! Thanks for the answer. Does this mean I will have to create a subdomain for each project? I'm worried because it seems quite a long process. If I create a sub directory, how would the structure be like? Laravel -> public -> project1 -> public -> index.php ?

Would it be possible to just create a public_html and the create my laravel projects inside it. So the structure will be like public_html -> project1 and public_html-> project2

Yes indeed. Supposing each project folder has laravel installation so each folder's public folder will be your root of application on web.
