How to set up Laravel project to cPanel?

Question

#1 I'm trying to set up a laravel project as a subdomain on cpanel but I'm getting parsing issues, and an error.

These are the steps I've done so far zip the project and upload it to this directory public_html/encuestas unzip and move contents to the directory above get ssh access with PuTTY and cd into the directory do this command in PuTTY composer install --ignore-platform-reqs I've also done it all through the PuTTY, cloned the repository from bitbucket with the same results.

After the command I get this feedback

vc@un.net [~/public_html/encuestas]# composer install --ignore-platform-reqs Loading composer repositories with package information Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file Nothing to install or update Generating optimized autoload files

Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/vc/public_html/encuestas/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php on line 500

Please help me to fix this issue. Thanks.

Have you considered uploading the entire laravel project directory to your subdomain? I have hosted several projects on the cpanel by uploading the project folder to the public_html directory, setting up the database, and updating the.env credentials and everything worked fine. So if you can't do it by cloning the project through the terminal, you can try uploading the project directly using FileZilla to the sub-domain home directory then doing the configuration.
