where the .env file goes on the web server in laravel 5.6

I am confused about .env file as when I hosted the laravel application the .env file is missing on the web server. If anybody knows the way how can we find .env file on the server please answer.
Try ls -la to list all files in your web root.
As other have said, it sounds like the file exists but you cannot see it because it is a hidden file (denoted by the . in .env)
For future reference, whilst .env is likely to be excluded in a .gitignore there is often a .env.example which is include that you can copy and modify for your environment.
By default a Laravel app's Git repo will ignore the .env file - it's because you will use this on your development machine to configure the app to work on that environment.
You should have another .env file on your server which provides the configuration required for your app to run in that environment. This file should be maintained between deployments - and most importantly, the credentials inside of it should not be tracked in a repo.
Your .env file is there! It is a hidden file and you can't see it with gui unless if you somehow reveal hidden files! I recommend you to use putty over windows or ssh over linux terminal and edit it if you know how to do that.
By default some files like .env, .htaccess are hidden on the server therefore to see these files we need to set as show hidden files on the server settings.

Laravel lock some folders on host

Guys I have created my first Laravel Project and I uploaded it to the server successfully and everything works perfect.
But I can write in the url www.mydomain.com/resources/views and show all my views!
Also user can open my .env file and view my database connection info!
I want only the user to navigate only to my routes not to any folder he guess.
Basic Instruction to Deploy Laravel to shared hosting7
You should point your document root to app/public/
run composer install in the project root directory
set writable permissions to bootstrap cache chmod 777 bootstrap/cache
set writable permissions to storage chmod 777 storage -R
There are many things that can go wrong while deploying application. So, it would be easier for us to help you, if you also provide us step by step process that you followed while deploying the laravel application.
For securing your routes and .env file you need to get into your hosting root directory, create .htaccess file and copy the below code and paste it in there
# Disable index view
Options -Indexes
<FilesMatch "\.env$">
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
I hope this will solve your problem.

public_html folder invisible

I have a website which I copied to this location. The public_html folder was also uploaded with the other folders but it is not showing up. Please guide me. Thanks.
As you are using DreamHost web hosting you wont have any control over ssh and chmod , chown commands. I think dreamhost wont use cPanel for shared hosting, they have their own control panel, so there is nothing you can do, Ask dreamHost support to reinitialize your public_html directory. Surely they will do that. I searched on dreamhost forum and found these link-

Currently in your case i saw that there is no issue related to public_html (technically "Document Root" ) directory coz as your http://www.inspuratesystems.com/second/ is pointing to correct directory , and your documentRoot is parent of that directory, So if your documentRoot was wrong then there were no chance to access that that url, currently your domain is opening a correct index.html file which indicates that your documentRoot is there.
Create a index.html or home.html file there manually (from their web based file manager) and see if it is working or not, if it works then there is some issue with your uploading.
Your hosting provider seems to be dreamhost.com
Please check out this thread, according to which public_html seems to be a special case on dreamhost:

Getting a 'Not Found' error on my website?
Hope it helps!
Make sure that the public_html folder has execute permissions
chmod a+x public_html
That will allow execute permissions for everybody.
Perhaps it's possible that server (apache?) hides folders named public_html? Also check that group others have read and execute permissions for that folder.
In folder /path/to/second/ run
chmod ugo+rx .
chmod -R ugo+rx public_html
to set folder visible.
cpanel may handle the "public_html" folder in a unique way. Try uploading to a folder like: /home/yourusername/public_html/second/files/ instead of /home/yourusername/public_html/second/public_html/
If you are wanting to create a new distinct website at inspuratesystems.com/second/ you don't need a second "public_html" folder. Just put them in the /home/yourusername/public_html/second directory.
If you are using a linux or OS X server, you may need to change the permissions on the folder.
Did you checked if the folder is hidden attribute?
If you execute ls -a in terminal, you will know about it's existence. If it is present then please try giving it read & execute permission (using chmod 555 command). Give write permission if you are planning to write something or take feedback from users (using chmod 777).
I tried some of this options above but unfortunately none worked. Instead I discovered that in CPanel you have a "Preferences" tab and in that tab you have a "User Manager" function. You can there edit the ftp user that you created before in CPanel. On the "User Manager" funcion you can find the "Home Directory" configuration. On that home directory you just choose the "public_html". When you configure the user in the ftp account on your ftp platform, it goes directly to the path you defined in CPanel.

Getting a 'Not Found' error on my website?

I'm trying to upload files to my domain that I'm hosting with Dreamhost. I connected to the server with FileZilla and I'm pretty sure I put the files in the right spot.
Their tutorial says to create a directory with your domain name like this: 'mydomain.com' and put your files in there. I put an index.html, p.css, register.php, login.php, and logout.php file in there. However, when I navigate to mydomain.com in Google Chrome, all I see is this:
Does anybody know what could be causing this?
BTW I didn't actually create a directory called "mydomain.com" I used the domain I own.
UPDATE:
The directories are set up like this:
/
mydomain.com
public_html
register.php
main.css
logout.php
login.php
index.html
Can you make sure you have group read permissions on the file you are attempting to fetch?
You want permission each file has a 755 permission, here is how you would change a file permission in FileZilla.
Also, make sure everything is in the public_html file.
public_html/index.html
public_html/p.css
public_html/register.php
public_html/login.php
public_html/logout.php
Try adding a file named .htaccess to your public_html directory. In this file, put the following line:
DirectoryIndex index.html
Assuming the webserver is Apache (or a work-alike) this tells the server to send index.html whenever someone asks for /.
I finally figured it out. For some reason it wasn't working when the directory was labeled mydomain.com. I changed it to mydomain_com and it fixed it for whatever reason. Thank you to cevaris and Amazed for helping me.

Directory access denied -- in server(bluehost)?

When i completed my project in codeigniter and uploaded to server it show directory access denied? What to do ...i have configured in config file but it doesn't work..
You will need to change read/write permissions for the directory hosting your codeigniter application. Refer to your hosting company's help section to see how this can be done.
