How to host laravel web application in Shared Hosting - laravel

Question

I have developed a web application using Laravel 5.8, now I want to host that to a shared web server. What will be the folder structure and exact what to configure.
I have created a folder named laravel and kept all the project folders into that laravel folder, except project's public folder. I kept all the files and folders of public folder into public_html folder.
I have configured the index.php file of public_html folder as below.
a. require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to,
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
b. $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
to,
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return __DIR__;
});
*** I have solved the problem myself.
Step 1: I have found and installed laravel app into public_html folder from the cPanel
Step 2: Then I have moved everything into a folder named laravel except public folder into a new folder outside public_html folder
Step 3: Then I have moved everything from public folder into public_html folder
Step 4: Later I have followed the 2nd step above
Step 5: Then I have changed folder permission for storage folder and it works fine.
Step 6: Finally I have kept all other files and folders of the app developed in my local server into this newly installed app directories

Answer 1

Laravel default structure always better. its depend on your hosting place.
if your hosting place support for laravel framework then use default structure automatically public word redirect to project path.
Or if you need to ignore Public word in your Url
Copy all files form files put in to one folder ex:psl
copy public folder paste in to folder directory
change the index.php file in two place
require __DIR__.'/psl/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/psl/bootstrap/app.php';

I had similar errors on my deploy and then I noticed that the path is kind of wrong:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
the leading / changes to the root of the drive, and then the .. are not doing anything. Removing that leading / on both require __DIR__ fixed it for me.

if you can not provide a link to the web root of the shared folder!
All except the Public folder to move to a higher level, such as a folder laravel - http://prntscr.com/bryvu7
(Maybe on hosting your folder - public. not a folder public_html)
Change file publi_html/index.php
line
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
And line
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
to
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return __DIR__;
});
Change file laravel/server.php
line
require_once __DIR__.'/public/index.php';
to
require_once __DIR__.'/index.php';
