Laravel Deployment on GoDaddy

I have a completed Laravel application and I need to deploy it to my GoDaddy shared-hosting account. The job covers the full deployment cycle: uploading the source, configuring environment variables, pointing the public directory correctly, and making sure the framework’s storage and cache folders are write-ready under GoDaddy’s shared-hosting restrictions.

Database help is required as well. I’ll be using MySQL; you’ll need to create the database in cPanel, update the credentials in .env, run the migrations, and verify the connection.

Composer dependencies, key generation, and any necessary tweaks to .htaccess (or user-ini) to accommodate Laravel’s routing must be handled so that the app loads from https://mydomain.com without exposing /public.

Deliverables
• Application reachable at root domain with clean URLs
• MySQL database created, migrations executed with no errors
• .env correctly configured, app key generated
• Storage, cache, and log directories writable on shared hosting
• Brief hand-off note (commands run, files changed) for future reference

Once everything is live and I confirm the app works end-to-end, the project is done.
