Can anyone suggest me that what's I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

You need to point your domain to public folder of laravel not root since laravel has index.php inside project folder/public/index.php so you need to point project folder/public/

Answer 2

Let suppose you uploaded your application to /var/www/html directory. and your public folder path looks like this /var/www/html/public.
Then your site-available file code should be like this
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html/public;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name www.mywebsite.com;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
#
# # With php7.0-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# # With php7.0-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
You just need to change root path. Then your site will work properly as expected.

i moved all files from public folder (project_folder/public/ )
into project folder
in index.php i changed this lines:
require DIR.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
INTO:
require DIR.'/./vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/./bootstrap/app.php';
and works fine ...
Thank you to everyone :)
