How to migrate laravel database?

Question

Software Deployment

It is necessary to transfer the laravel project to another vps, there are files and a database.
For the test, I tried to deploy locally, but I couldn’t connect the database (I’m not familiar with laravel).

1. Apache document root points to /public folder
2. updated DB_X constants in .env file to actual (new) ones and imported base

As a result, main page is displayed (only text, images with address '/storage/X' are not displayed), and other pages display 404. I can’t find any logs, I don’t write anything in storage / logs, in apache error log too. In config/database.php, several types are specified in connections (sqlite, mysql, pgsql, sqlsrv), everything with a forge user except mysql, I also specified new parameters in mysql, but without result. Who knows, tell me what files need to be updated.

UPD:Thanks to everyone, especially Sergey delphinpro (in the comments) for the answer.

My final list is:

1. Apache document root to public folder
2. Install composer packages
3. Update database connection details in .env file
4. Link public/storage to storage/app/public
(in app root php artisan storage:link)

Also make sure that in Apache config is set to AllowOverride so that .htaccess rules for CNC work correctly

Answer 1

You need to configure apache on index.php
To display images, you need to make a link to the public.
Read the documentation, it's all explained there.
