我需要在主机中上传哪些重要的laravel文件夹？

Question

I would like to ask an advice. I'm trying to upload my laravel project in ftp using filezilla. I'm confuse. what are the folders do I need to upload? because if i upload all files there are 98,000 files to upload, including the vendors folder and more.Here the list of folders in laravel

-app
-bootstrap
-config
-database
-node_modules
-public
-resources
-storage
-tests
-vendors

I'm new in laravel. That project is just a practice. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

i have few servers where i cannot do a easy ssh/composer etc like i do locally to have to upload manually :-(.

But all i upload are the following folders/files.

-app
-bootstrap
-config
-public
-resources
    - views
    - lang
-storage
-vendors
.env

You don;t need the node-modules unless your calling anything from with in as these can be huge and time consuming to upload if not required.

hope this helps

Answer 2

You should upload everything except vendor directory, .env file. Also usually you don't want to upload storage directory. Then you should run composer install command which will download all dependencies your project needs.

Then create new .env file with correct settings, clear all cache and create or recreate autoload files:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear

composer dumpauto
