I am trying to deploy laravel 5 app on a shared hosting

Question

I have extracted my zip file(project files) to public_html and moved files from public/ folder created by Laravel to public_html and modified index.php to

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';

But i am getting a 500 Internal server error? Cant it be caused by .htacces?

Because the public folder with index.php should be the webroot. So rename public to public_html and keep the path the same (so the other folders are still on the same lavel as public_html — online Thomas

@ThomasMoors - so if i rename public which is inside public_html to public_html, I am going to end up with public_html/public_html? — Africa Matji

you shoud copy entire project to public_html and then point your domain to public_html/your_project_folder/public/ folder

Hi, I have tried that but i dont have a option in 'Addon' to change Document root..FYI, Its on a shared hosting, I cant SSH

ok are you sure you have your .htaccess file in public folder and .env in your project folder? storage, and bootstrap folder have to be writable

i have .htaccess in 'public_html', storage and bootstrap have 775 rights and are in the same folder level as well...so 'public_html/public/' has nothing

.htaccess shoud be in public folder, where is .env file?

and you should not move file from inside public folder, leave it there
