The following steps are needed for running Laravel on Linode.
Before you install Laravel, decide where you're going to install it. If you are setting up a site that already has a virtual host seup then simply remove the folder from /var/www
sudo rm -rf foldername
This allows you to create the folder as part of the installation.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel foldername
If you get the error:
proc_open(): fork failed - Cannot allocate memory_
A swap file is needed run this on the root:
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
cd into the laravel folder and change permissions by running:
sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
