Nginx or Apache

These PHP Extensions are required:

GD
BCMath
PDO
SQLite
Ctype
Fileinfo
JSON

Installation

1. Upload files on your server

Copy project files to web root folder of your domain. It's mostly located in html, www or public_html folder name.

2. Configure your web root folder

Configure your web server's document root to point to the public directory of the files you previously uploaded. For example, if you've uploaded the files in html folder, your domain root directory should be changed to html/project_files/public folder or anything else where domain root is in project /public directory.

Please don't try go to yourdomain.com/public URL address, you will have issue to verify your purchase code, this is not correct domain root setup, you must do this in your webhosting settings panel.

3. Check your .env file

Make sure .env file was uploaded. This type of file can be hidden in default.

3.1 When you install from GitHub

When you download repository from GitHub, you have to rename your .env.example file to .env. Then run command below in your terminal to install vendors. Composer is required.

composer install

4. Set write permissions

Set 755 permission (CHMOD) to these file and folders directory within all children subdirectories:

/bootstrap/cache
/storage
/.env

5. Open your application in your web browser

Then open your application in web browser. If everything works fine, you will be redirect to setup wizard installation process.

At first step you have to verify your purchase code. Subscription service with stripe payments is available only for Extended License. If you can't verify your purchase code, check, if you did previously steps correctly.

6. Follow setup wizard steps

That was the hardest part of installation proces. Please follow instructions in every step of Setup Wizard to successfully install VueFileManager.

PHP Configuration

There are several PHP settings good to know to setup before you try upload any file. Please set these values in your php.ini, we provide minimal setup for you. When you set -1 then you set infinity limits.

memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
max_file_uploads = 50
max_execution_time = 3600

Chunk & Multipart Upload

VueFileManager in default supporting chunk upload. Default chunk upload size is 128MB. If you wish change this default value, go to /config/vuefilemanager.php and change chunk_size attribute.

When you use external storage, and upload large files, to prevent failing upload process make sure you have enough space in your application space and set higher max_execution_time in your php.ini to move your files to external storage.

Nginx Configuration

If you running VueFileManager undex Nginx, don't forget set this value in your nginx.conf file:

http {
    client_max_body_size 1024M;
}

And example Nginx config for your domain:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    
    # Log files for Debugging
    access_log /var/log/nginx/laravel-access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/laravel-error.log; 
    
    # Webroot Directory for Laravel project
    root /var/www/vuefilemanager/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    
    # Your Domain Name
    server_name example.com;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
    
    # PHP-FPM Configuration Nginx
    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Apache Configuration

Make sure you have enabled mod_rewrite. There is an example config for running VueFileManager under apache:

<VirtualHost example.com:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vuefilemanager/public
    ServerName example.com

    <Directory "/var/www/vuefilemanager/public">
        AllowOverride All
        allow from all
        Options +Indexes
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>

Installation Failed

What to do when installation fail and you can't continue, at first, try to fix issue why installation fail. Probably missing PHP extension or permissions wasn't set correctly.

At worst scenarios, to reset Setup Wizard, delete all tables in your previously created database, delete content of /storage/framework/cache. Then replace content in your .env file from .env.example file.

After these steps, installation will be reseted.

Update Guide

Instructions

Don't forget create backup of your database and storage before make any changes in your production application.

If you serve your files in local storage driver pay attention and don't delete your /storage folder

Follow this steps:

Make a backup of the .env config file located on your server.
Upload and replace all the files on your server with what's inside the app folder.
Restore your .env config file on your server.

Update from 1.7.x to 1.7.7

If you are upgrading app to 1.7.7 from 1.7.x, make sure you have copied new /vendor folder or if you are using terminal or git, run composer update command to update your vendors.

Update from 1.6.x to 1.7

Just log in to your stripe dashboard, and you will find taxes under Dashboard / Products / Tax Rates.

Developers

Running development environment on your localhost

When you download repository from GitHub, you have to rename your .env.example file to .env. Then run command below in your terminal to install vendors. Composer is required.

composer install

Set your APP_ENV to local mode, in default, it's in production mode.

APP_ENV=local

Also, to debug application, set APP_DEBUG on true:

APP_DEBUG=true

To start server on your localhost, run command below. Then go to your generated localhost URL by terminal, and follow Setup Wizard steps to configure VueFileManager.

php artisan serve

After successfully installation via Setup Wizard, stop your artisan server, clear config cache and run your artisan server again:

php artisan config:clear
php artisan serve

After any change in your .env you have to restart your artisan server to reload your config cache.

To develop your Vue front-end, you have to install npm modules by this command:

npm install

To compiles and hot-reloads for front-end development. Then run this command:

npm run hot

To compiles for production build, run this command

npm run prod

Supported Storages

VueFileManager support these storages for your files:

In case of installation process, you will be able to set storage driver and credentials. After this, you can change your credentials later in /.env file.

To set or change your storage driver, you have to edit FILESYSTEM_DRIVER in your /.env file. Supported drivers are s3, spaces, wasabi,backblaze or local:

FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=local

Then you can find corresponding credentials options for your storage driver like key, secret, region in /.env file.

How to Create New Language

VueFileManager front-end support i18n standard for localization. This mean, you can translate app to any language

How to create translation for Vue Front-End

Go to /resources/js/i18n/lang And make copy of en.json and rename it to your local name (eg: Slovak language has 'sk' shortcut, it means sk.json). If you have created your copy, then feel free to translate this file.

Open /resources/js/i18n/index.js import your new language and assign it to languages object:

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueI18n from 'vue-i18n';

import en from './lang/en.json'
import sk from './lang/sk.json'

Vue.use(VueI18n);

const i18n = new VueI18n({
    locale: config.locale,
    messages: Object.assign({
        en,
        sk
    }),
});

export default i18n;

After this, you have to compile language to your application code via this command in your terminal:

npm run prod

How to Create Translation for Laravel Back-End

Go to /resources/lang/ And make copy of en folder and rename it to your local name (eg: Slovak language has 'sk' shortcut, it means sk). If you have created your copy, then feel free to translate this file.

Set locale

To set your locale in app, go to /config/app.php and set your locale string in locale option:

'locale' => 'YOUR_LOCALE',

Small hint: We use for translating localizations this awesome software, check it.
