Installation Guide

Step 1: Upload the Script

1. Log in to your cPanel account provided by your hosting provider.
2. Go to File Manager → public_html or the directory for your domain.
3. Click Upload and upload the Traderplus zip file.
4. Once uploaded, extract the zip file in the desired directory.

Step 2: Create a Database

1. In cPanel, go to MySQL Databases.
2. Create a new database (e.g., traderplus_db).
3. Create a database user and assign a strong password.
4. Assign the user to the database with ALL PRIVILEGES.
5. Note down the database name, username, and password for the next step.

Step 3: Configure Environment

1. In the extracted files, locate the .env.example file.
2. Rename it to .env.
3. Edit the .env file and update the following:

• APP_URL=https://yourdomain.com
• DB_DATABASE=your_database_name
• DB_USERNAME=your_database_username
• DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password
• LICENSE_KEY=your_purchased_license_key

Step 4: Set File Permissions

Ensure the following directories are writable by the server (chmod 755 or 775):

• storage
• bootstrap/cache

Step 5: Run Laravel Migrations

• Navigate to the project root directory.
• Run: php artisan migrate --seed
• This will create all tables and seed default data including admin account.

Step 6: Configure Domain

1. Go to Domains in cPanel.
2. Ensure your domain points to the correct directory.
3. Update DNS settings to point to your hosting IP.

Step 7: Final Checks

• Ensure .env file is properly configured.
• Ensure storage and bootstrap/cache are writable.
• Visit your domain — you should see the login page.
