How to Migrate a Script (Standalone)

To migrate any standalone script, follow these steps carefully:

Verify Domain/Subdomain Setup

• Ensure the domain or subdomain where you want to migrate is functioning correctly.
• Test it by placing an index.php file with "Hello World!" content in the root directory. Navigate to your domain/subdomain in a browser to confirm you see the expected output.

Check Server Prerequisites

• Confirm that the new server meets all the prerequisites required for the script to function.

Prepare the Existing Script

• Delete the public/storage directory.
• Create a zip archive of the existing, fully functional script. Ensure all files are included in the archive.

Backup the Database

• Export the database in .sql or .sql.gz format as a backup.

Import the Database

• Import the database to the new server.
• You may need to disable foreign key checks during the import process.

Upload and Extract Files

• Upload the zip archive to the new server and extract it.

Update Configuration

• Open the .env file and update the database credentials.
• Update the following environment variables to reflect the new domain:
  • APP_URL
  • SESSION_DOMAIN
  • SANCTUM_STATEFUL_DOMAINS

Recreate Storage Link

• Log in to the terminal via SSH and run the following command:

  php artisan storage:link
  

Verify Migration

• Navigate to your new domain/subdomain. You should see the login screen.

Activate the New Domain
- You will be prompted to enter an access code after migration.
- Visit scriptmint.com, add your new domain, and generate a new access code.
- If necessary, deactivate the access code for your previous domain.

Note:
Migrating a script to another domain does not fall under standard support. If you encounter any issues, you can request paid assistance.
