Move Laravel Nova to subdomain

Question

I would like to move Laravel Nova to nova.mydomain.com instead of mydomain.de/nova. I have already searched to GitHub and Stackoverflow, however, the solutions don't work for me. Currently I am trying this one out.

It also works. Nova is now available under nova.mydomain.de. However, now I am facing three other problems.

1. When I try to access to main domain on mydomain.de I also see the Laravel Nova dashboard. It is not even redirecting me, it is just showing me the Laravel Nova dashboard on the main domain!

2. When I click on a link on my resources on the Laravel Nova dashboard it automatically appends a nova. to all links...

3. The complete site including all routes from the main domain are also available under nova.. For example mydomain.com/post/myFirstPost is also available under nova.mydomain.com/post/myFirstPost

I am running on Mac with Laravel Valet and Laravel 8. I have created a nova directory in my Sites folder which also contains the mydomain project. The nova folder is just a symlink which points to the mydomain project.

How can I fix my problems... Unfortountly there aren't many discussions, solutions available online.

My nova.php config file.

<?php

use Laravel\Nova\Actions\ActionResource;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Middleware\Authenticate;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Middleware\Authorize;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Middleware\BootTools;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Middleware\DispatchServingNovaEvent;

return [

Answer 1

• Set your subdomain root directory to main domain root directory. This is typicaly must be done in your webserver like apache,nginx

• Set domain in config/nova.php to your subdomain.

• dont forget to php artisan optimize:clear
