I'm a newbie to Laravel projects but I need to have one accessible over the internet so I tried using DirectAdmin but whenever I go to my domain I get an index (pictures attached).
I renamed the Laravel 'public' folder to 'public_html', is that correct? Here is my file structure.
Here is what I get when I go to my assigned domain which isn't my website at all.
The webpage should look something like this
I also found a laravel app using Softaculous linked here (https://panel.freehosting.com:2222/CMD_PLUGINS/softaculous/index.raw?act=software&soft=419). Am I required to use this app?
At first, you need to learn about the laravel directory structure. You don't need to change the laravel public folder to public_html. I am not sure how the DirectAdmin server works. but if you see a laravel directory instead of serving an application it's might be a path-related issue in your server. your domain should serve your application public folder.
I just found a tutorial for the DirectAdmin server with laravel. that might help.

I have a shared hosting with bluehost.com... can I just put my project on that.. like upload public files to public_html and others to root directory and backup MySQL DB and upload it to my shared hosting then edit my .env file... will this actually work with Laravel?
I searched most online resources and it requires ssh access to deploy, but the way I explained should not require that right?
I mean this way you don't have to go throw terminal access right?
I used to do that with WordPress when I want to set everything locally then upload it and edit URLs from the dashboard and stuff...
Yes it would work.
But you have to ensure one thing that, in your cpanel your domain point to the /public folder of laravel project.
Normally cPanel points the http requests to public_html folder, but laravel start from its public folder. You can achieve this by two way.
By pointing your server to straight to public folder
Copying the index.php to the public_html, in that case you have to edit index.php to run the laravel project properly. And I don't recommend this step. Step 1 is lot more easier.
I am confused about the deployment of the laravel project in the live server.
I searched for this and found many solutions.
There are many processes to deploy laravel projects in a live server.
Someone suggesting to remove all files and folder from public folder
someone saying to change .htaccess etc.
What is the perfect way to deploy laravel projects in the live server?
If, I have to remove public folder then, why laravel included it?
If I have to copy .htaccess to root directory and need to change it.
Then why it is not used laravel as default. Would someone explain it to me, please?
I have hosted my project on the server and my application is getting hacked, as of now I came to know my configuration files are no secured like .env, composer.json etc. These can be directly accessed by saying mydomain/filname e.g., www.abc.com/.env, when anybody hits url like this then file is opened on the browser. How can protect these files. I am using lravel 5.7
It seems you have multiple .htaccess files and your server isn't using the one that Laravel provides.
I have uploaded my Laravel app unto a directory under the public folder on my domain,
html_docs/public/store
where 'store' is the folder of my Laravel App. My main domain pointed at 'html_docs/public', please check my laravel app here "https://www.dinhi.org/store/". As you can see, when you click the "sell with us" or "login" on the top header, it returns
Not Found
The requested URL /store/dashboard/login was not found on this server.
I have set up to in my '.env' and in my 'config/app.php' the right url like "https://www.dinhi.org/store/" but still not working, any ideas, help please?
PS: I'm on Laravel 5.3 and I'm using Hesto Multi Auth. In my local, this issue does not exist like everything is good and working.
Laravel is not meant to be installed completely into the document root of your server. Actually, every folder of your laravel application except the public folder should be inaccessible from the web.
Your exposing yourself to a security risk here, since everybody could access every file of your app, including potential .env files with database credentials and the likes.

How I create and run laravel spark project:
Create project using spark new myproject
set all required directory permissions
Since I am on live server I hit the public folder within the project.
The page display with two buttons 'Login' and 'Register'
When these buttons are clicked it jumps to the root directory, nothing works
Even if i hit the url like 'http://myip/myproject/register' the registration does not work.
What I am missing. please guide. I can't create virtual host.
You're using wrong web server configuration. You web server is pointed to a root directory where Laravel project lives.
You need to point it to a public directory which is inside Laravel project and restart web server.
After that use normal URLs without public in it.
Update
Correct nginx and Apache settings for Laravel 5
