CryptoMinor – Professional Cloud Mining Script

Official installation & configuration guide — server requirements, environment setup, admin credentials, cron scheduling, and quick fixes for the most common issues.

Section 01

Server Requirements

Make sure your hosting environment meets the following before uploading the application.

PHP 8.0+

Version 8.0 or higher (check composer.json).

Composer

Required to install PHP dependencies.

MySQL / MariaDB

MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+ running.

Web Server

Apache with mod_rewrite, or Nginx.

PHP Extensions

OpenSSL, PDO, Mbstring, XML, cURL, GD, BCMath.

SSL Certificate

Recommended for production deployments.

Memory Limit

PHP memory_limit ≥ 256M.

Max Upload Size

upload_max_filesize & post_max_size ≥ 20M.

Max Execution

max_execution_time ≥ 120 seconds.

Section 02

Connect the Database

No manual .env editing — the web installer configures everything automatically.

Web installer

https://yourdomain.com/install/

Step 1

Create an empty MySQL / MariaDB database and a database user from your hosting panel (cPanel, phpMyAdmin, Plesk).

Step 2

Open the installer URL above in your browser — it checks server requirements automatically.

Step 3

Enter the database name, username, password, host and port in the installer form.

Step 4

The installer writes the .env file, imports the database tables and creates the admin account for you.

Fully automatic: You never need to edit .env or import any SQL file by hand. The installer handles the connection, migrations and seed data — just make sure the database exists and the user has full privileges on it.

Section 03

Folder Permissions

The download package contains only two folders — the documentation and the main script files.

documentation/

755

Installation docs (this file). Read-only — not uploaded to the server.

main-file/

755

The actual script: index.php, .htaccess, assets/ and all core files — upload the contents of this folder to your web root.

Folder	Permission	Purpose
documentation/	755	Installation docs (this file). Read-only — not uploaded to the server.
main-file/	755	The actual script: index.php, .htaccess, assets/ and all core files — upload the contents of this folder to your web root.

Ownership: On most shared hosts, ownership should be the web-server user (e.g. www-data or your cPanel user).

Section 04

Run the Installer

The web installer sets up the script automatically — no terminal needed.

Installer URL

https://yourdomain.com/install/

Step 1

Open the installer URL in your browser — it runs an automatic server requirements check.

Step 2

Enter your database details; the installer writes the .env file and imports all tables.

Step 3

Create the admin account when prompted, then finish the setup wizard.

Step 4

Delete or lock the /install/ directory so nobody can re-run the installer.

Note: Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain where the script is uploaded.

Section 05

Admin Login Details

Default credentials for the admin panel.

Admin URL

https://yourdomain.com

Username

admin

Password

admin

Security: Change the default admin username and password immediately after your first login.

Section 06

Cron Job Setup

Run the platform cron every 15 minutes so mining, profits and payouts process automatically.

Crontab — every 15 minutes

*/15 * * * * curl -s https://yourdomain.com/api/run-cron >/dev/null 2>&1

*/15 * * * *

Runs the job every 15 minutes, 24/7.

curl -s

Silent mode — sends a GET request to the cron endpoint.

URL

Replace yourdomain.com with your own installation domain.

>/dev/null 2>&1

Discards output so cron doesn't send you email notifications.

cPanel / Shared hosting

Log in to cPanel and open Advanced → Cron Jobs.
Under Common Settings, choose Every 15 minutes (or set minute to */15).
Paste in the Command field:curl -s https://yourdomain.com/api/run-cron >/dev/null 2>&1
Click Add New Cron Job and leave the email field blank to avoid notifications.

VPS / Dedicated server

Connect over SSH as root or your site user.
Open the crontab:crontab -e
Add this line at the end:*/15 * * * * curl -s https://yourdomain.com/api/run-cron >/dev/null 2>&1
Save and exit, then verify with crontab -l.

Important: The cron job is required — without it mining sessions, daily profits and withdrawals will not be processed. You can test the endpoint once by opening /api/run-cron in your browser; it should return a success response.

Section 07

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them quickly.

500 Internal Server Error after upload

Usually caused by wrong folder permissions on storage/ and bootstrap/cache/, or a missing APP_KEY. Set permissions to 775 and make sure APP_KEY is generated in .env.

Blank white page

Enable APP_DEBUG=true temporarily to view the real error. Check storage/logs/laravel.log for details.

Database connection error

Double-check DB_HOST, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD. Ensure the database exists and the user has full privileges.

Images or uploads not showing

Make sure the storage symlink exists (public/storage) and that FILESYSTEM_DISK is set correctly.

Cannot log in as admin

Confirm the URL is /admin/login on your domain. Clear browser cookies and try again.
