I uploaded my laravel 4.2 project on my shared webhost. now I have to go to mydomain.com/public to see the view . But I dont want ant public folder in my address . I used so many suggested .htaccess files but they didn't work for me.
Does any one know other solutions ? (not using .htaccess file) ... for example any laravel config that can help me...
thanks
Normally you need the htaccess file to point to the public folder. But you can copy the content of the public folder in your root folder and change the app path to it.
Copy your index file in your root folder and add this to your index.php file:
// set the public path to this directory
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return __DIR__;
});
Here is solution I recently found and worked on my local host (I wish and think this works on shared webhost too). I hope it helps someone if has the same problem :
laravel 4 remove public from the URL
Follow the steps below to achieve this.
Step 1
Move everything from public folder to the root directory
Step 2
Now delete the empty ‘public’ folder.
Step 3
Edit the file bootstrap/paths.php
Find the following line
'public' => __DIR__.'/../public',
and replace it with:
'public' => __DIR__.'/..',
Step 4
Modify index.php in root
Find the following line
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
and replace it with:
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
Now in the same file find the following line
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
and replace it with:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
That’s all. Browse to your Laravel installation without public in the URL and make sure it works.

For the last month I coded a laravel project on local, using Laragon to have a local server. Now I want to deploy it online, using an ovh hosting ( required by a client ). So I have my ovh hosting, with the "perso" offer.
I used the ftp credentials given by ovh, with FileZilla, and it worked. It gave me something like this :
Then I uploaded all my project in the www folder. Now, when go to the domain, it doesn't display the front page but rather the folder itself, aka this :
For now, I didn't touch the .env file. I deleted the default index.html in the www folder, I know the problem probably come from this. I searched everywhere and found not clear explanation. My knowledge on web hosting is limited, so I'm struggling with this. I know I missed something. Anyone who could help me, would save my life. Thank you !
do not put you project files in the www folder, instead put them in a folder outside that directory 'called laravel for example'.
then copy or move the contents of the 'public' directory to 'www'. (www dir will now contain index.php,...).
edit the two lines in www/index.php that require autoload.php and app.php to reflect the new directory changes:
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
should be:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/vendor/autoload.php';
and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
should be:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';
The best is to create a new folder in the /www folder with the name of your project.
For exemple: /www/laravel-project
Then you will need to go OVH admin panel, click on your domain and change the folder it is going to by /www/laravel-project/public
You need to go to the public folder of your Laravel project.
saying that your project name is : Laraval_project :
using "filezilla", put 'laravel_project/' under the directory 'www/'.
find the dir named : 'public/' under 'laravel_project/' and copie/pass it in the the parent dir, wich is : 'www/'.
now u have side by side 'laravel_project/' and 'public/' under 'www/'.
in 'public/' folder u'll find four files -> move them all to the parent dir, wich is 'www/'..
edit www/index.php file as Rabah said :
edit the two lines in www/index.php that require autoload.php and
app.php to reflect the new directory changes:
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
should be:
require __DIR__.'/laravel_projec/vendor/autoload.php';
and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
should be:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/laravel_project/bootstrap/app.php';
if ther is a file named : 'www/index.html', rename it :
'index.html.old . enjoy
I uploaded Codeigniter 4 to a shared hosting in a subdirectory.
I can access the installation (the default controller) if I go to http://example.com/ci4/public
but how can I access the default controller if I want to use http://example.com/ci4/
I already added http://example.com/ci4/ in App.php as baseurl. But currenty I'm getting a page not found error.
Try this okay.
I hope it will work
I discovered that when I try to point all my url to public/index.php in my project it return error 404 based on it can't find my controller after rewriting my .htaccess to point to public/index.php in my project root directory.
This is how I solved my problem =>
I move the index.php and the default .htaccess from public directory to my project root directory then I edit the index.php to locate my app directory
E.g
index.php Default find this line
// This is the line that might need to be changed, depending on your folder structure.
$pathsPath = FCPATH . '../app/Config/Paths.php';
Change it to
// This is the line that might need to be changed, depending on your folder structure.
$pathsPath = FCPATH . './app/Config/Paths.php';
I hope this work for you
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
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';
I'm having trouble installing/moving laravel to web server, i downloaded and set laravel on my local linux server but when i moved it to web server ,it shows a blank page.
I uploaded the public folder contents to public_html and other contents outside the public, also i changed the public DIR from paths.php on bootstrap folder as follow: 'public' => __DIR__.'/../public_html/' so what is the exact problem? Please help me with this issue. Is composer a problem? or what?
1) Create a new directory called ‘laravel4′ adjacent to ‘public_html’ so that your remote file structure now looks like this:
[.htpasswds]
[etc]
[laravel4]
[mail]
[public_ftp]
[public_html] etc etc varies depending on server
2) Upload the contents of your local ‘public’ directory to the remote directory ‘public_html’. Note: Be sure not to copy the whole ‘public’ directory, JUST it’s contents.
3) Upload everything else within your local Laravel project to the new remote ‘laravel4′ directory. Check: Now when you view the ‘laravel4′ folder over FTP/SSH/Whatever, you should see all your ‘app’ & ‘bootstrap’ directories along with all the other files and directories, but NOT ‘public’.
4) Edit the remote file ‘public_html/index.php’ and make the following change:
//from:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
//and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
//to:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel4/bootstrap/autoload.php';
//and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel4/bootstrap/start.php';
5) Edit the remote file ‘laravel4/bootstrap/paths.php’ and make the following change:
//from:
'public' => __DIR__.'/../public',
//to:
'public' => __DIR__.'/../../public_html',
6) That should be it. In my case, that was enough to restructure everything. Routes are working with the default .htaccess file. If you have problems, let me know, or ask on the ever-helpful

I'm about to deploy laravel 4 on a shared web host into a subdomain and I'm a bit confused about what to do. I got it working on a hostpapa account but wasnt happy with the configuration and switched providers for the testing environment.
I've created the following folders:
domain/private/myApps/golfmanager
I've placed in here all the files and folders except the public folder
I've then placed the contents of the public folder into this folder:
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs
I'm not sure what to do now! I understand I need to change the paths in bootstrap/path.php
Can someone provide some pointers of what needs to be changed for this folder set up. Don't want to break it!!
Thanks
This is super easy on shared hosting.
Step 1: Understanding your folder structure. The layout of your shared hosting should generally look something like this:
/
username
home
public_html
subdomain-name
laravel-files (optional)
...other folders etc
As you hopefully know, all your public files for your site will be in your public_html folder.
Note: sometimes a subdomain will be inside the public_html folder. That is okay but I recommend creating your subdomain folder above the root for a little bit of extra security. You can do that easily in cPanel but changing the path to the subdomain when you are creating it.
Step 2: Upload your Laravel files above the root (above public_html) or in a subfolder if you want it to be cleaner.
For a small project I generally upload the files into the "home" folder above. But for cleaner structure you may want to create a folder inside that "home" folder called "laravel-files".
What follows is how to do it in an "laravel-files" folder. If you upload them to "home" instead then all you need to do is get rid of all references to "/laravel-files" below.
Step 3: edit your public/index.php and your bootstrap/paths.php files:
In paths.php
change
'app' => __DIR__.'/../app',
to:
'app' => __DIR__.'/../laravel-files/app',
change:
'public' => __DIR__.'/../public',
to:
'public' => __DIR__,
change:
'base' => __DIR__.'/..',
to:
'base' => __DIR__.'/../laravel-files',
change:
'storage' => __DIR__.'/../app/storage',
to:
'storage' => __DIR__.'/../laravel-files/app/storage',
In index.php
change:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel-files/bootstrap/autoload.php';
change:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel-files/bootstrap/start.php';
Now what you'll need to do is, as I said upload your laravel project to your "laravel files" folder.
The only thing you wont upload there is the contents of your laravel "public" folder, which should instead be uploaded to your "subdomain-name" folder (this includes your index.php and all your css js files etc).
Hope this helps!
Please note my answer is based on this question: How to install Laravel 4 to a web host subfolder without publicly exposing /app/ folder? but tailored for your situation.
I'm not sure this is the way to go, because, since your folders are completely different, it's doable but you probably will need to create symlinks for this to work this way.
Laravel is supposed to have the folder hiearchy you see in your application and you should have
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs/app
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs/bootstrap
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs/public
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs/vendor
So, what I think you can do it to put everything on
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs
And ask your domain administrator to set the document root of your application to
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs/public
This way, when you point your browser to
http://golfmanager.yourdomain.com
It will access this index file:
domain/subdomains/golfmanager/httpddocs/public/index.php
This is how Laravel is supposed to work.
Josh answer was very helpful, but it did not work or did not matched my case.
I will tailor my solution like his one, so everyone could follow easily:
Step 1: My chosen folder structure:
/
home
username
public_html
subdomain-name
laravel-files
...other folders etc
Note: my subdomain is inside the public_html folder.
Step 2: Uploaded my Laravel files above the root (above/out of public_html) in a subfolder: laravel-files (//home/username/laravel-files)
Step 3: edit your public/index.php and your bootstrap/paths.php files:
In paths.php
Don't change:
'app' => __DIR__.'/../app',
to:
'app' => __DIR__.'/../../laravel-files/app',
because it's useless - it will evaluate to the following path:
"/home/username/laravel-files/bootstrap/../../laravel-files/app"
so the default is enough to just get out of bootstrap and enter app.
Instead, change:
'public' => __DIR__.'/../public',
to:
'public' => __DIR__.'/../../public_html/subdomain-name',
Also, don't change:
'base' => DIR.'/..',
'storage' => DIR.'/../app/storage',
In index.php
change:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to:
require __DIR__.'/../../laravel-files/bootstrap/autoload.php';
and change:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../laravel-files/bootstrap/start.php';
Upload your laravel project to the "laravel-files" folder, except the public folder.
Content of "public" folder, should instead be uploaded to the "subdomain-name" folder.
