Laravel In Local Nginx Windows


Laravel In Local Nginx Windows

Introduction

Laravel is an open-source PHP framework that allows you to quickly create robust web applications. A large part of the development process for any web application is setting up the web server. Nginx is a powerful web server with the ability to serve high-performance web applications. It is the preferred web server to serve high-traffic web applications in production. In this tutorial, we will learn how to set up Laravel in a local Nginx Windows environment.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you should have a basic understanding of Nginx, PHP and Laravel. You should have also installed Nginx, PHP and Laravel in your local Windows machine. In this tutorial, we assume that Nginx is installed in the “C:nginx” folder, PHP is installed in the “C:php” folder, and Laravel is installed in the “C:laravel” folder.

Step 1: Configuring Nginx

In this step, we will configure Nginx to serve our Laravel application. First, open the “conf/nginx.conf” file in a text editor such as Notepad++. In the “server” section, add the following lines of code:

location / {
root C:/laravel/public;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$request_uri;
}

location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
}

These settings tell Nginx to serve the files located in the “C:/laravel/public” folder and to make PHP files executable from the URIs specified. Then, restart your Nginx server. You can do this by opening a command prompt, navigating to the “C:nginx” directory, and typing nginx -s reload.

Step 2: Configuring PHP

In this step, we will configure our PHP installation. Open the “php.ini” file located in the “C:/php” directory. This file is responsible for loading modules and configuring other PHP settings.

In the “Extensions” section of the “php.ini” file, make sure that the following extensions are enabled:

extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqllite.dll
extension=php_sqllite.dll

Restart the PHP server by typing “php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:9000” in a command prompt. This will start the PHP server and make sure it is configured correctly.

Step 3: Configuring laravel

In this step, we will configure our Laravel application. The first thing we need to do is to set the database connection. We can do this by editing the “config/database.php” file. Make sure that the database connection is set to “ MySQL” and set the “host”, “username”, “password” and “database” values accordingly.

The next thing we need to do is to configure the “.env” file. Open the “.env” file and make sure that the “APP_URL” field is set to the correct URL of the application.

Step 4: Test your application

Now that we have configured our Laravel application, we can start testing it. Open your browser and type the URL of your application. If everything is configured correctly, you should be able to access your application.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to set up Laravel in a local Nginx Windows environment. We have seen how to configure Nginx, PHP and Laravel. We have also seen how to test our application.
