updating with this package about laravel-installer

[chrisbbreuer]

Thanks for your quick reply. I was just wondering if you will enable a updating method:

Update: In order to update your application, go to the /update url and follow the instructions.

There currently isn't an update route. Just wondering 👍

Hi @Chinese1904 ,
Sorry, i did not get your question. Where do you want this to be implemented?

[NickRT91]

This would be awesome if implemented :)

[hyvikk]

how can i redirect from install to main page if it's already installed?

[ajayfroiden]

@hyvikk You do not need to open the /install in that case.

[chrisbbreuer]

what I have done in my case is actually redirect if /install is called after it is installed, because visitors are not supposed to see that site. :-)

@Chinese1904 Perfect. Make Sense

[NickRT91]

@Chinese1904 Can you share your redirect fix / maybe offer to pull it into here for us others to use? :)

[chrisbbreuer]

There are a lot of options actually and it will depend on what you want to achieve. Right now there seems to be a bug, because it should throw a 404 error if it already is installed and the installed routes get accessed, but it does not.

The easiest way is to modify the routes.php file like this while the bug hasn't been fixed:

if (! File::exists(storage_path('installed'))) {
    // all the installer routes here
    Route::get('/', [
        'as' => 'welcome',
        'uses' => 'WelcomeController@welcome'
    ]);
    ...
} else {
    abort(404); // or redirect anywhere else
}

Make sure to not delete the installed file.

If I find some more time, I will look for the bug later. :-)
