Question

How to enable Queues in the Laravel project for Plesk Laravel Toolkit?

Answer

To enable Queues in the Laravel project, do the following:

1. Navigate to Domains > example.com > PHP Settings and set open_basedir = none
2. Go to Domains > example.com > Hosting settings and set SSH Access > Type = /bin/bash
3. Make sure that Scheduler management permission is granted for the subscription. It can be checked via Subscription > example.com > Account (on the right pane) > Customize > Permission tab
4. Integrate the Laravel package into Plesk. In your Git project, in the “composer.json” file, add the following lines:

   "require": {
   . . . ,
   "plesk/ext-laravel-integration": "*"
   }

   

   Warning: In case a local repository is used, and changes are performed via File Manager, it is required to commit changes by performing step 5 from this article.  To avoid overwriting after deploy.

5. Select the database you want to process the queues. The following example is for MySQL database:

     5.1. Create the database
     5.2. In the “.env” project file, add the following lines:

         DB_CONNECTION=mysql
         DB_HOST=<actual database_host (might be localhost)>
         QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
         DB_DATABASE=<db_name>
         DB_USERNAME=<db_username>
         DB_PASSWORD=<db_pass>

   NOTE: Instead of `database_host`, `db_name`, `db_username`, and `db_pass`, specify the actual values used while creating the database. 

6. Navigate to Domains > example.com > Laravel > Composer tab and run the following:
   composer update
composer install
7. Go to Domains > example.com > Laravel > Artisan tab and run migrate (if tables for the database are already created - this step can be skipped)
8. Go to Domains > example.com > Laravel and enable Scheduled Tasks
9. The Queue should now be active and ready to be enabled:
