Installation - Advanced Tips

For production environments, consider the following:

• Set the correct values in the .env file, particularly APP_ENV and APP_DEBUG.
• While SQLite is used by default, you can switch to any database supported by Laravel.
• Ensure all directories have correct permissions. If using SQLite, the database file must be writable by the web server user.
• Ensure the storage/app/public directory is writable by the web server user.
• Adjust the following php.ini settings based on the maximum file size you'll upload:
• upload_max_filesize
• post_max_size
• memory_limit
• For Nginx servers, increase the client_max_body_size directive in the Nginx configuration file. For Apache, increase the LimitRequestBody directive in the Apache configuration file or .htaccess file.
• Optionally, use the following commands to optimize the application:

php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache
