Install via Web-Installer

{primary} Extract the eventmie-pro-webinstaller.zip inside the website directory e.g public_html or www.

Eventmie Web Installer

{primary} Web-installer installs everything - Laravel Framework + Eventmie Pro package + composer dependencies.

Follow these simple steps for getting started with web-installer.

  1. Create a database on the CPANEL/server and copy the database credentials- database name, username & password.

  2. Then after extracting eventmie-pro-webinstaller.zip in the website directory, go to the website directory.

  3. Open the .env file at the root public_html/.env and enter the database credentials. 

        DB_DATABASE=<database-name>
    DB_USERNAME=<database-user-username>

After installing missing PHP extensions, return to the installer page and refresh.

    • Step-2: Check Folder Permissions
      If you see some red cross. Change two folder permissions storage & bootstrap. (you'll see more info about this on the installer page.)
