Everyone knows the Laravel framework, but few know how to install it in the Plesk panel, especially if you don't have SSH access.
Here are step-by-step instructions.

      • Open the Plesk panel, then go to the "Websites & Domains" section, click the domain where you want to install the framework, then select the Panel tab and click on the icon named SSL/TLS Certificates. Install a free certificate on your domain.
        Laravel install plesk 1
      • After that, click on the PHP icon and set the version you need, and also set the open_basedir variable as shown in the screenshot.

      • Laravel install plesk 6Next, open the .env file and find the block that is marked as DELETE and remove it, replacing it with the ADD block. In this new block, specify the credentials for database access that you created in the previous step:

    # DB_PORT=3306
    # DB_DATABASE=laravel
