Step 1 - Welcome Screen

After creating the database next step is accessing the application URL from a browser. One thing you need to know is that Laravel is designed to allow HTTP access to the application from your public folder only. This means that this application will be available at yourdomain.com/public. It is good enough for installation and development purposes, however, for production, you will probably want to have your application available at yourdomain.com. 

To open the installer. Visit 

Note: If you are not able to access the website by accessing yourdomain.com/public/install, but you are able to access it via yourdomain.com/public/index.php/install, this means that you probably don't have Apache mod_rewrite installed and enabled.

Fill in appropriate credential for the wizzard, and finalize install.

Now You are ready to go.

Login details are

Admin Login:

Email: [email protected]

Password:admin

User Login:

email: [email protected]

password: user

After Installation, you generally require no further setup, other than basic ones.

Visit yourdomain.com/admin/settings main settings.

THEN START BUILDING YOUR NEXT AWESOME PROJECT.

Stripe Settings Create plans on stripe and set recurring payments and then put that plan id in packages table.

Update the values in .env file for following

To add new product/service, click on products on your left menu, and fill product details.

Code will be generated for the product, which you can easily extend

Then users (those in need of the product) can purchase , and the will be given unique domain such as userslug.productname.yoursite.com

User can forward mydomain.com to above subdomain using cname or other means.

For this to work properly, user should link the domain to their subscribed product adding domain.

To Link Domain

1. Go to dashboard,
2. On your product list,click view
3. Input desired domain name for the product

Backup could be done for the base code and individual product/service on tenant base.

Possible action:

Backup main root db

Restore from file for individual order

Users/Tenants can download backup

Each service/product have its own directory for all resources (controller, model and view)

The location for each product resources could be found unde /app folder in respective resources

Note: All code generated can be found in "Apps" folder for each resources.

Similar structure is used for GUI code generator when product is selected
