I recently started using the Laravel php-framework on my desktop development environment, and wondered if I could get it working on a Windows Server shared host (like DiscountASP.net), and even though all my testing had been done with a WAMP stack, the answer is....YES Laravel apps run fine here! The only twiddling I had to to do was modification of the Laravel 'database.php' to point to my MySql server instance (and credentials) running on DiscountASP.net. I then tweaked a 'web.config' in my Laravel App's 'public' directory to use some Rewrite rules for route-mapping (very similar to the kind of stuff you have to do for Razor under .Net MVC). I wrote a little blog entry on my mechanics at http://the-fam.us/MatthewBlog if you care to follow-up on some of the 'how-to'. Start to finish, you just: 1) Install and run Composer and Laravel on your desktop WAMP instance. 2) Write, Run, and unit-test your Laravel application on your desktop. At the end of your testing, you will have a complete disk-image of all the PHP files you need. 3) FTP the disk-image of the Laravel app to DiscountASP.net web-site. 4) Tweak the ../YOURAPP/app/config/database.php file as described above 5) Put a web.config with the correct Rewrite rules in your ../YOURAPP/public directory. 6) Run your application by navigating to: http://YOURDOMAIN/YOURAPP/public
Yeah currently I have started working on Laravel Development and WAMP stake help me for successful testing.
