How to migrate your website on laravel from cpanel to ispconfig

I am recently using ispconfig. Now I have the situation that I need to migrate a website from cpanel made in laravel, which has complicated it a little. I tried several things like migrating only the web page in the public_html folder but obviously it didn't work and I haven't found any tutorial about it that also involves a web page developed in laravel. If anyone could give me any recommendations or suggestions it would be very helpful. Thank you.

It's my 1st post here so I'll put some more details just in case:
The website uses php 7.3
laravel 8
database in mysql

I don't know what else could be relevant

 

If rather what I'm looking for is the way to migrate those dependent files out of public_html and avoid the 500 error when loading the website, the problem is that in laravel these files I don't know where they are and I also have the problem that I don't have contact with the creator of the website

 

From my experience with Flarum, which also uses laravel, basically they are also files and folders below public_html folder, other than what is inside public_html folder, which you also need to copy and put them together inside the web folder.

 

Yes I have tried to do that but I still have the problem "error 500", I already checked that I pointed to the correct database with the correct username and password, also check that I use the same Php version and laravel, but so far nothing, it's like I'm missing some dependency or something

 

Try this or provide better info. As you may already know error 500 is too general for anybody to help.

 

If I know, my biggest problem is that I have no way to contact the previous creator/administrator of the website and the client is not able to provide me with more information, I also appreciate his help

 

Apparently the problem is on line 24 which says the following:
require __DIR__.'/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/laravel-8-crud-app/vendor/autoload.php';

Of course the cumbia yo is rotated with respect to the original chanel server to match the laravel/vendor/autoload folder.php that contains the following and I think is where it does not find the dependency but I can't think how to solve it

autoload.php shows the following:
<?php

// autoload.php @generated by Composer

require_once __DIR__ . '/composer/autoload_real.php';

return Composer AUTOLOADERINITD85F71B8E08DB23E35F738E4E1809379::getLoader();

 

I can fix the migration, thank you

 

The autoload file seems to be created by composer, so I think, you need to find a way to enable composer for your web site and run composer install / update for it in there to fix it. Do check that site's software for the right command.

 

The initial steps to diagnose 500 errors in Laravel:
you should have enabled the following debugging mode to know the actual error causing the issue;
APP_DEBUG=true in your .env file & disable 'production' environments.

Make sure the composer is installed (composer -v you can try that on root also) but do not run the 'composer update' or 'composer self-update' on root! highly not recommended.
Please ensure that you are using the PHP version similar to the one you migrated from.

your symlink should be as per follows;

Code:

user@server:~/web/public$ ls -al
lrwxrwxrwx  1 user client4   52 Aug 17 19:42 storage -> /var/www/clients/client4/web6/web/storage/app/public

 

There should be a backup feature in your Laravel script. Use it and restore them under web root of your new ISPConfig3 web site.
