To deploy a Laravel application on a Windows server, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install PHP: First, you need to install PHP on your Windows server. You can download the latest version of PHP from the official PHP website and follow the installation instructions.
  2. Install Composer: Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that is used to install Laravel and its dependencies. You can download the Composer installer from the official Composer website and run it to install Composer on your Windows server.
  3. Install Laravel: Once Composer is installed, you can use it to install Laravel by running the following command in the command prompt:
1
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-project


Replace my-project with the name of your Laravel project.

  1. Configure the server: You need to configure your web server to serve the Laravel application. If you are using Apache, you can configure a virtual host for your Laravel application in the httpd-vhosts.conf file. If you are using IIS, you can configure a site in the IIS Manager.
  2. Set up the .env file: Laravel uses a .env file to store environment-specific configuration settings. You should set up your .env file with the appropriate configuration settings for your Windows server.
  3. Set up the database: If your Laravel application uses a database, you should set up the database on your Windows server and configure the database connection settings in the .env file.
  4. Run migrations: You can run the database migrations for your Laravel application by running the following command in the command prompt:
1
php artisan migrate


  1. Test the application: Once everything is set up, you can test your Laravel application by accessing it in a web browser.


By following these steps, you can deploy a Laravel application on a Windows server.
