Laravel change default path - laravel-5

I downloaded a laravel project and install on my ubuntu into following default path var/www/html/timecapture/public
Now when I visit the path www.domain.com/timecapture/public then it works. Only the links im my application for example "employe" are showing to
www.domain.com/employe and not www.domain.com/timecapture/public/employee.
Where can I do the necessary change?
I am using laravel 5.4.
thanks.

You should change the DocumentRoot of your website in the configuration of apache, you can set it to the absolute path of your public folder (var/www/html/timecapture/public)

Change localhost/htdocs folder in Xampp 8.2

I know this is not a new question but I think something has changed with Xampp in the latest version. I was using Xampp 8.0 and was using another directory to serve as localhost just fine. My Xampp installation is in C:/xampp while my projects are located in D:\Whip\Projects. This is the folder I want to load when using the address localhost.
I changed 2 lines in httpd.conf like I had done several times before
DocumentRoot "D:\Whip\Projects"
<Directory "D:\Whip\Projects">
The folder loads but PHP doesn't work properly. I get errors related to missing session folders and extensions. The problem is in php.ini file the paths are not absolute anymore. For example, in xampp 8.0 I had
session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"
In 8.2 I have
session.save_path="\xampp\tmp"
And same thing with extensions directory and all other paths defined in php.ini (and who knows where else). If I manually add C: to the path above, the sessions start working. I'm apprehensive of changing every path like that. Is there a better way to change the htdocs folder now?

How to deploy Laravel 5.5 on shared hosting without composer

I am trying to deploy a Laravel project on shared hosting. I copied the Laravel folder in user's root directory (/home/shrpr) and copied the content of public directory in /home/shrpr/www folder. I modified the index.php in public folder to include "../Laravel" as explained in site. Since, composer is not allowed on this shared hosting, I also copied my local vendor and storage folder along with laravel folder. But I still keep on getting error 500. So, I added a test.php file in the laravel folder and included it in index.php file to test if path and all is correct as under:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/test.php'; die;
This works fine as the content of test.php is getting displayed properly. So, it looks like some dependencies of vendor folder is missing. Is there a way of identifying and uploading complete dependencies of laravel and uploading it, that is without use of composer?
Try composer update before upload to shared hosting.
Change permissons of your index.php to 644.
Check your enviroment, maybe isn't works.
Wich version of php is running in your shared hosting? and wich is yor Laravel version, change php version to 7.0
Make sure you have PHP 5.5+ installed on the server. Move the index.php file from public to www and change the paths accordingly.
Another way to deploy laravel on shared hosting is to set up your domain as addon domain and then set root folder of the addon domain to the /public folder of the laravel project. eg. home/mili/laravelproject/public
I tried this with godaddy and it worked.

How to change localhost:8000 to laravel.dev

I'm using apache on Mac os x, laravel 5.2 and my project is currently running on localhost:8000, I want to change this to laravel.dev Or start a new project with the project-name.dev url. How can I do this ?
I would recommend you install Laravel Valet
https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/valet
It will automatically enable project-name.dev for each project you create in the specified directory. It makes starting new projects a breeze.
You have to change the hosts file for this. You can set the mappings right in your hosts file. You can read more about it here Hosts File & Why to use it ?

How to Host laravel 5.2 on CENTOS server

I am trying to host my laravel 5.2 project on a CENTOS Server (Shared Hosting) I followed this tutorial
https://medium.com/laravel-news/the-simple-guide-to-deploy-laravel-5-application-on-shared-hosting-1a8d0aee923e
but when I try running it on online I get a blank page.
I checked my log I got this error
AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/html: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.php,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
I then followed this http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/apache-error-no-matching-directoryindex-index-html-found-solved/ to solve that but I still keep getting a blank page with the same error in the log.
Please any help will be so much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You should point web server to a public directory inside Laravel project directory, not to it's root.
I had to redirect apache in the host file to the project folder

How to run laravel 5.0 project on localhost without use php artisan serve

I have created a laravel 5.0 project with php artisan serve, now i need to know how to run laravel 5.0 project run without start php artisan serve, i have already browse lot of websites no one help me..
You need to change "server.php" to "index.php" then copy ".htaccess" from public to root directory.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30053989/3948755
Laravel sever Folder is "public". There is an index.php so you can run you project from there.
Suppose if you using UbuntuOS then you have to create your local server in public directory. Suppose your folder name is laravel_test then go in that directory and run some thing like this
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
If you using windows then access public folder from URL.
localhost/laravel/public
Actually it's bad practise to access folder from URL but for local its good. You also can go with host entry. Just make sure that your target folder is "public" directory.
Normally you would have WAMP/XAMPP installed. You can access Laravel project like below
localhost/laravel/public
But this is not recommended. You should create Virtual host for example
laravel.local that pints to server-root/laravel/public.
this is how you create virtual host.
Or even better go for a Laravel Homestead .
How is your .htaccess file configured?
Try with localhost/laravel/public/index.php
Use http://localhost/projectName/public
It will be work. but in case if you have another Route and you can not access that Route and get the error like " Page Not Found " then please use the following command
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Now open the http://localhost/projectName/public/yourRoute
This is a little late but still applicable, what I like to do (using ubuntu 14.x+) is put my laravel project (let's say Project1) in my var directory, so it would be in /var/Project1, then symlink the public folder to somewhere in /var/www(+/html depending on apache version).
Symlink can be done something like this:
ln -s /var/Project1/public /var/www/html
This keeps your internal files off the grid so to speak, this is untested so if I've missed anything just comment and I will amend this post.
EDIT:
Obviously if your http root is /var/www/html you can put your project in /var/www/Project1
If you have access to xampp or wampp on your operating system you can more or less configure your virtual host like in the instruction below:
https://bestin-it.com/creating-virtualhost-on-your-local-computer-to-start-simple-index-php/
This instruction shows how to run it locally on your PC, but it works generally the same on any hosting portals. In most case in payed portals you have any web panels to configure your public folder that reference to /public folder in laravel folder's structure.
