Installation on cPanel

Please follow the following steps

Where we want it

1. Main Domain https://yourdomain.com

   Disable access to subfolder

   please make sure that no one can access /public_html from your main domain, only /public_html/public should be accessible.

   You can do this by editing your web server config or use the symbolic link.

   For symbolic link, delete the public_html folder and upload file to some other folder. Connect via SSH or access cPanel Terminal to create symbolic link

   cd /home/cpaneluser
   ln -s /home/cpaneluser/uploadedfile/public /home/cpaneluser/public_html

   This command creates a symbolic link named public_html that points to your Laravel project's public directory.

2. Subdirectory/Subfolder https://yourdomain.com/subfolder

   Disable access to subfolder

   please make sure that no one can access /subfolder from your main domain, only /subfolder/public should be accessible.

   You can do this by editing your web server config or use the symbolic link.

   For symbolic link, delete the public_html folder and upload file to some other folder. Connect via SSH or access cPanel Terminal to create symbolic link

   cd /home/cpaneluser/subfolder
   ln -s /home/cpaneluser/uploadedfile/public /home/cpaneluser/public_html/subfolder

   This command creates a symbolic link named public_html that points to your Laravel project's public directory.

3. Subdomain https://subdomain.yourdomain.com

   Root Path

   Please set the subdomain root path to public folder like, /home/cpaneluser/sma4.tec.sh/public => Good nothing to worry

   OR

   /home/cpaneluser/public_html/sma4.tec.sh/public => please make sure that no one can access http://yourdomain.com/sma4.tec.sh/

No SSH or Terminal?

For creating symbolic link for public_html and subfolder installation

If you don't have access to SSH or Terminal then you can create Symbolic Link via PHP Script:

• Create a new PHP file (e.g., createsymlink.php) in your uploaded folder.
• Add the following code to the file:

<?php
$targetFolder = '/home/cpaneluser/uploadedfile/public';
$linkFolder = '/home/cpaneluser/public_html';

if (file_exists($linkFolder)) {
    unlink($linkFolder); // Remove existing public_html if it's a file or empty directory
}

if (symlink($targetFolder, $linkFolder)) {
    echo 'Symbolic link created successfully.';
} else {
    echo 'Error while creating symbolic link.';
}
?>

Upload Files

1. Login to your cPanel and click File Manager
2. Select public_html folder and click Upload
3. Select the SMA download file and click Select File
4. Once uploaded, go pack to public_html folder
5. Right click on uploaded zip and Extract
6. If it's extracted in the folder then go to that folder
7. Select all files and Move to public_html

Create Database and User

Access installer in browser

1. You can access the installer by adding /install at the end of your domain.

   install is not a folder but route.

   # Installer URL
   Domain: https://yourdomain.com/install
   Subfolder: https://yourdomain.com/subfolder/install
   Subdomain: https://subdomain.yourdomain.com/install

   If you can't access the installer then there is something wrong with path or there are some error causing this. Please double check the upload. If that is okay then check the if there is any error logged in the storage/logs/ folder.

   If SSL enabled and not configured correctly that could result in redirect error too.
