Panel Setup
The core environment is easily configured using a single CLI command & the web installer built into the app.
This step will cover setting up things such as sessions, caching, database credentials, and email sending.
Running php artisan p:environment:setup
will, if it does not exist, auto create the required .env
file and generate a APP_KEY
.
Make sure to read the MySQL guide first if you want to use MySQL/ MariaDB instead of SQLite!
php artisan p:environment:setup
Back up your encryption key (APP_KEY in the .env
file). This is used as an encryption key for all data that needs to be stored securely (e.g. api keys).
Store it somewhere safe - not just on your server. If you lose it all encrypted data is irrecoverable -- even if you have database backups.
Setting Permissions
The next stop in the installation process is to set the correct permissions on the Panel files so that the webserver can use them correctly.
chmod -R 755 storage/* bootstrap/cache/
- NGINX/Apache
- Rocky Linux NGINX
- Rocky Linux Apache
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pelican
chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/pelican
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/pelican
Web-Installer
Once you've set the proper permissions & created the Cron & Queue worker, continue the Panel install on the web interface.
