Alex, thank you so much for all tutorials!

For those who are having the '500 server error', try to GRANT ALL PROVILEGES in mysql as it follows:

Steps:
1. open terminal
2. mysql -u root -p (enter)
3. enter your password
4. use mysql;
5. select user, host, plugin from mysql.user;
6. update user set where user='root';
7.GRANT ALL ON blog.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
8.flush privileges;
9. exit;
10. service mysql restart

I usually hate clicking affiliate links on videos like this because the creator is useless and just trying to make a quick buck. You on the other hand, are super knowledgable and actually know what you're doing. I will be clicking your affiliate link when I buy a server because it's how I'd like to show my appreciation for what you've done. Great stuff and thanks for not only explaining what to do, but also why we need to do it. Cheers

Best deployment series for Laravel...great job..keep up !!!

[omar-salim]

for those who are having problems with uploading files on your production server, here is what you should do:
1) make a 777 permission for the directory you want to upload/move your files on
(example: sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/public/files )
2) install (GD Graphics Library) for php
for PHP5: sudo apt-get install php5-gd
for PHP7: sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd
then you're good to go

went smoothly, and like a million questions of mine were answered. Love your work. A big thank you. please what software do you use to create your intro video? the design and sound are awesome

[sarder]

The tutorial is super useful even in 2020...

[librasulus]

great video. I was stuck during the last phase of my deployment and your instructions worked like a charm.

[Brocollipy]

Excellent series many thanks. I had some problems with my views loading after the move production. The problem was caused by Ubuntu apparently being horrendously case sensitive. I eventually solved the problem by making sure all my resources/views subfolders were in lowercase.

[viperphp]

The most amazing, explicit, and professional tutorial out there on Laravel for production environment i ever came across. I really like it ;)

Can you please do a separate video on how to install and configure PostgreSQL on Ubuntu.

Thanx Alex.
