How do I configure LEMP (Ubuntu 16.04) for Laravel 5.4?

Posted on February 7, 2017

Hello,

I did a basic one-click app install for LEMP (ubuntu 16.04). I was wondering if there was a tutorial on how to set it up for Laravel 5.4? I’ve found it for Ubuntu LAMP 14.04, but not for 16.04. Does anyone know where I can find a reliable source to get this done?

I figured it out, maybe LEMP 16.04 doesn’t use the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default anymore. So, I tried editing this file instead.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/digitalocean

Then, whooah! It worked :)

The overall gist of the guide here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-laravel-with-an-nginx-web-server-on-ubuntu-14-04

… is pretty much the same for 16.04. The one section you would want to skip is the one regarding the creation of a swap file. This isn’t recommended now, so it’s safe to overlook that section.

That didn’t help too :(
