在共享主机上托管在Laravel 4上运行的两个不同应用程序

Question

I'm about to start development of a site using Laravel4 that will include a cms hosted on a sub-domain. What I want to know if is there is a way to have the main Laravel installation shared between the two apps?

I've had various success in testing using the following example: Laravel full URL routing, however I want to keep the functionality from the app folder separate and have something like say, app_main, app_cms that holds the relevant models, views and controllers for each site in there.

There doesn't seem to be much help that I can find in how to set up Laravel for such a requirement, so any help on this would be great.

Answer 1

I have a multihosting solution, which after logging into FTP contains this folders:

domaina.com
domainb.com
domainc.com

If I'd like to share same Laravel code between those websites, I just create 'Laravel' folder on the same level, so it looks just like this:

domaina.com
domainb.com
domainc.com
laravel

This 'laravel' folder holds everything except 'app' & 'public' directory.

I just place content of 'public' directory right inside 'domaina.com' folder (for example). Open up 'index.php' and adjust these lines to match actual location. Now you are good to go

require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
