Configuration
Public Directory
After installing Laravel, you should configure your web server’s document / web root to be the
public directory. The
index.php in this directory serves as the front controller for all HTTP requests entering your application.
Configuration Files
All of the configuration files for the Laravel framework are stored in the
config directory. Each option is documented, so feel free to look through the files and get familiar with the options available to you.
Directory Permissions
After installing Laravel, you may need to configure some permissions. Directories within the
storage and the
bootstrap/cache directories should be writable by your web server or Laravel will not run. If you are using the
Homestead virtual machine, these permissions should already be set.
Application Key
The next thing you should do after installing Laravel is set your application key to a random string. If you installed Laravel via Composer or the Laravel installer, this key has already been set for you by the
php artisan key:generate command.
Typically, this string should be 32 characters long. The key can be set in the
.env environment file. If you have not renamed the
.env.example file to
.env, you should do that now. If the application key is not set, your user sessions and other encrypted data will not be secure!
