Problem: Current Laravel need to serve different companies and have different stage(production, test, etc.)

Using Route::group and create a different folder for different website/stage.

Solution: follow post on this and this:

1. Create folders for a different purpose and put controller you want inside it

/app
  /controllers
    /Api
      /v1
        /UserController.php
      /v2
        /UserController.php

In the UserController.php, remember to change namespace accordingly.

For example for controller under v1 folder

namespace Api\v1;

for controller under v2 folder

namespace Api\v2;

In the web.php, using Route::group to determine using which controller, like:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'api/v1'], function () {
  Route::get('user',      'Api\v1\[email protected]');
  Route::get('user/{id}', 'Api\v1\[email protected]');
});

Route::group(['prefix' => 'api/v2'], function () {
  Route::get('user',      'Api\v2\[email protected]');
  Route::get('user/{id}', 'Api\v2\[email protected]');
});

for any prefix like api/v1, using the controller under v1 folder.

Route::group(['domain' => 'itdailydocumentation.com'], function () {
  Route::get('user',      'Api\v3\[email protected]');
  Route::get('user/{id}', 'Api\v3\[email protected]');
});

for domain itdailydocumentation.com, using controller under v3 folder.

As for the version design for layout, you can also copy the view blade to a different folder:

views/
├── v1/
│   ├── master
|   |   ├── master-public.blade.php
|   |   ├── master-admin.blade.php
|   |   ├── master-user.blade.php
|   ├── views
|   |   ├── home
|   |   ├── chat
|   |   ├── order
|   |   ├── reports
├── v2/
└── v3/

Problem: In Laravel, the created_at and updated_at attribute in database value are incorrect when users trying to create and update data.

Solution: Change the timezone value in /config/app.php. The timezone list can be found at https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_timezones.asp

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Application Timezone
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you may specify the default timezone for your application, which
    | will be used by the PHP date and date-time functions. We have gone
    | ahead and set this to a sensible default for you out of the box.
    |
    */

    'timezone' => 'Asia/Taipei',  

Problem: Only ‘/’ route working --

Route::get('/', '[email protected]')->name('main.index');

Other routes return 404 using get and post method

Solution: Add below code to .htaccess in your project/ folder:

Problem: put the whole laravel project folder to another directory. e.g /var/www/html/laravel-project to /var/www/laravel-project . After the update of the Virtual Host File. The issue appears when accessing the website

This is because the server still use and contain the old path record in cache.

Solution: Clearing Configuration Cache, Application Cache and Route Cache.

php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear 

Problem: After installing Laravel using composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name and composer install. Getting this error in the index page: /storage/logs could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied

Solution: Change storage directory permission and ownership.

sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage
chmod -R 775 storage
