This recipe requires compatible web/CLI PHP, Terminal/SSH, Composer, cron and persistent worker support. cPanel alone does not guarantee these capabilities.

In Select PHP Version or MultiPHP Manager, select compatible PHP and its required extensions. Confirm the Terminal and cron PHP binary uses the same compatible version.
In MySQL Databases, create the database and user, assign permissions on this database, and record the full prefixed names privately.
Extract the backend outside public_html, for example /home/account/open-core-hr/backend.
In Domains, set the application hostname's document root to /home/account/open-core-hr/backend/public.
Enable HTTPS with the host's SSL/AutoSSL controls.
Open Terminal, change into backend, and follow preparation and configuration.
In Cron Jobs, run the scheduler every minute using absolute paths:

/path/to/php /home/account/open-core-hr/backend/artisan schedule:run >> /home/account/open-core-hr/backend/storage/logs/scheduler.log 2>&1

Use the provider's actual compatible PHP binary. Monitor and rotate this log. Ask the provider to supervise queue:work and Reverb if needed; see services.

If the host cannot set public as the document root or run required services, use a compatible plan or VPS. Moving the front controller into a public repository root is not an approved workaround.

Finish the installation checklist. cPanel acceptance remains pending.
