Deploy Laravel application on Heroku

Recently I have tried that how to deploy my Laravel 5 application on Heroku, which is one of the most popular Cloud Platfom nowadays, and I really love to use it. There are a lot of guidelines out there but I have faced some problems and I would like to share it thus anyone can put their laravel project on the cloud without any troubles.

Prerequisites:

• Prepare Laravel project
• Create Heroku user account here.

Deploying to Heroku

1. Login to Heroku

First you need to login to Heroku via command line: 

$ heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials:
Email: hoandq@scuti.asia
Password: ******
Logged in as hoandq@scuti.asia

2. Heroku create

Use the Heroku Toolbelt to initialize a new Heroku project:

$ heroku create
Creating quiet-falls-84273... done, stack is cedar-14
https://quiet-falls-84273.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/quiet-falls-84273.git
Git remote heroku added

3. Creating a Procfile

$ echo web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public > Procfile

4. Setting Laravel encrytion key

$ heroku config:set APP_KEY=$(php artisan --no-ansi key:generate --show)

5. Pushing to Heroku

Now the neccessary setting is almost enough, you need to push project to heroku by following commands: 

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "deploy to hereku"
$ git push heroku master

6. Open your site

After you successfully deploy, you can open http://quiet-falls-84273.herokuapp.com/ on browser or type

 $ heroku open
