## About Laravel Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as: - [Simple, fast routing engine](https://laravel.com/docs/routing). - [Powerful dependency injection container](https://laravel.com/docs/container). - Multiple back-ends for [session](https://laravel.com/docs/session) and [cache](https://laravel.com/docs/cache) storage. - Expressive, intuitive [database ORM](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent). - Database agnostic [schema migrations](https://laravel.com/docs/migrations). - [Robust background job processing](https://laravel.com/docs/queues). - [Real-time event broadcasting](https://laravel.com/docs/broadcasting). Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications. ## Learning Laravel Laravel has the most extensive and thorough [documentation](https://laravel.com/docs) and video tutorial library of all modern web application frameworks, making it a breeze to get started with the framework.

All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed. ## License The Laravel framework is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT). ## Production cache permissions Apache runs this application as `www-data`. Run Laravel commands that create runtime cache files under the same account: ```bash sudo -u www-data php artisan view:clear sudo -u www-data php artisan optimize:clear sudo -u www-data php artisan test ``` Before and after deployment, verify that Laravel's writable runtime paths have the expected ownership: ```bash sudo -u www-data php artisan app:check-runtime-permissions --owner=www-data ``` The command exits with a failure status and lists every unsafe path when it finds an ownership or write-permission problem.
