Multiple Laravel 5 projects on the same domain

Question

I got several Laravel 5 projects running on subfolders, on the same domain.

Each Laravel application is generating it\'s own session cookie, and sometimes it generat

Answer 1

Each Laravel installation should be located in its own directory.

Then an alias needs to be defined which points the domain sub-folder to the "child" Laravel folder.

Example in Apache http.conf:

    ServerName some.domain

    ## Path to laravel domain
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/some/domain/laravel-1/public"
    
        AllowOverride All
    

    ## Path to laravel sub-folder
    Alias /laravel-2-path-alias/ "/path/to/some/domain/laravel-2/public"
    
        AllowOverride All
    

For session cookies, check config\session.php in both installations.

Root installation config\session.php:

'cookie' => 'a_unique_name'
'path' => '/',

Subfolder installation config\session.php:

'cookie' => 'another_unique_name'
'path' => '/path/to/sub/folder',

This should ensure that each installation is writing its own unique session cookies. Any cookies generated by the sub application should not interfere with those of the parent.
