LaraPass v2 Setup Guide for a cPanel Powered Host.
Sign Up
If you don't already have one, you can sign-up for a cheaper cPanel Shared Hosting from A2Hosting
{info} LaraPass v2 will work perfectly on a Shared Hosting server, however if your hosting, provider has certain limitations on permissions or forces public_html directory for all, then the Auto-Updater may not be able to perform, as such, we recommend using a VPS instead of Shared Hosting.
Setting up cPanel
Login to your cPanel Host account (usually available at the url address yourdomain.com:2082 ).
+ Step # 1 - Navigate to the Domains, Addon Domains or Sub-domains (depending on which type of domain you want to use. For this example we will be using a sub-domain, so click on the Sub-Domains Page in your cPanel (the proceedure is almost same for all types of domains).
+ Step # 2 - Pick a new subdomain, in our case we will be testing with demo
+ Step # 3 - Select a domain, in our case its larapass.net, so the full url of our demo app will be demo.larapass.net
+ Step # 4 - Ensure that the Document Root is pointing towards /larapass/public directory and under Redirect it says not redirected.
+ Step # 5 - Open File Manager in cPanel or login to your server using an FTP program such as FileZilla or CyberDuck. Navigate to the root directory. Create a new folder with the name larapass if it doesn't already exists. If it already exists, then open it and delete all the files inside.
+ Step # 6 - Extract all the files from the larapass_source.zip file you received from us or downloaded from codecanyon and upload all the extracted files into the larapass folder on your server.
