I was able to connect October with the database using MySQL dashboard in the web hosting for PHP platform I am using.

You can install some mysql database manager. That should make it easy for you.

To implement Laravel mail send function on your website, you need to configure the route as well. In the routes, you need to mention this

<?php

use App\Mail\mailme;

Route::get('/', function () {

Mail::to('me@example.com')->send(new mailme);

return view('emails.mailme');

});

If you are running xdebug, then you will have to enable PHP opcache. For this you will have to add this to your php.ini file.

opcache.memory_consumption=128 (for caching all compiled files)

opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8

opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000 (by default can cache 2000 files)

opcache.revalidate_freq=60

opcache.fast_shutdown=1

opcache.enable_cli=1

The last command will enable Opcache, while the above commands are its default configuration.

@zerociudo Instead of Heroku, I would recommend you to deploy and host Laravel app through Cloudways platform, where you can host Laravel in one click and deploy laravel to server through integrated Git feature.

If you are hosting Laravel based app, like Laragon, on Cloudways platform, you can easily run PHPMyAdmin by unzipping it using following command:

wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/4.6.3/phpMyAdmin-4.6.3-english.zip

and then run it with phpmyadmin directory name you have set.

You can use middleware class to enable force https redirect. You can follow this tutorial on Laravel https guide to know how to do it.

I think you have not configured your unit testing correctly. I found this great guide on Laravel unit testing that explains the two methods of doing it. You can either do it using PHPUnit or Laravel test helpers. Using test helpers is the easiest and simplest of way of unit testing your code in laravel.

Cloudways is offering 20% discount on first 4 invoices on their managed cloud hosting platform. This platform is ideal for PHP based apps. Their custom stack is optimized to provide performance and stability to PHP based apps, including Laravel. You can easily host popular PHP apps, like Laravel, Wordpress and others in just one click.

@rb557 I don't know why you found it difficult to install Laravel. If you have ssh access, you can easily install it on your server using composer command. Some providers already have composer installed. Therefore, if you are hosting laravel project with such providers, you only have to use a single composer command to install Laravel. Otherwise, you have to first install composer then install laravel.
