title: Deploying a Laravel 4 app on AWS Elastic Beanstalk
body: <p>I've developed an application in Laravel 4 - works perfectly on my local machine with the usual/typical laravel setup (nothing unusual going on here).</p>
  
  <p>I'm now wanting to deploy the app to AWS Elastic Beanstalk (probably on a typical linux 64 bit server with php 5.4 installed)</p>
  
  <p>My question is this: do I need to make any changes to files to make the application ready for deployment?</p>
  
  <p>For example, are there any config files that I need to create etc? (I read about some sort of app/config/elastic file here: <a href="http://darrennolan.com/2013/02/02/php-aws-elastic-beanstalk-rds-laravel-4-with-migrations-on-updates/">http:://darrennolan.com/2013/02/02/php-aws-elastic-beanstalk-rds-laravel-4-with-migrations-on-updates/</a> )</p>
  
  <p>I've never deployed before so please go into as much detail as you can.</p>
