How to change Laravel url to localhost/website to get assets? - php

I transferred all the files in my laravel website to a folder called "project" except the public folder. I put all the files from the public folder to the main folder so I won't have to use "php artisan serve" every time I use the website locally like for example 192.168.1.100/website. The problem is that the assets and links became 192.168.1.100/dashboard, what I need is that 192.168.1.100/website/dashboard

Redirect to public/ in php artisan serve

I have a laravel application that I made changes to the folder structure, I have been working with laragon and everything works fine but on my local environment and live server.
However, when i user php artisan serve, the generated url doesn't load assets in the public folder.
E.g
https://livewebsite.com // [live server] works.
https://myproject.local // [laragon] works.
http://localhost/myproject // [laragon /xampp] works
http://127.0.0.1:8000 // artisan [doesn't load assets, assets in the public directory returns 404
//e.g http://127.0.0.1:8000/public/assets/themes/cryptic/style/bgs.css would return 404
Changes I made,
|-core
|-public
|-.htaccess
|-index.php
I have moved all laravel core folders and files to the core folder,
moved the .htaccess and index.php to the root directory.
From my debugging so far, I understand that laravel built in server redirects requests to the public folder where the index.php file is located.
What changes can I make so that the request is not sent to the public folder,
i.e http://127.0.0.1:8000/public/assets/themes/cryptic/style/bgs.css should just be allowed to be without be redirected.
The entire thing works on various environments except when I'm using laravel built-in PHP server with the artisan command.
EDIT
Folder structure
|-project
|-core
|-app
|-bootstrap
|-config
|-database
|-lang
|-etc
|-public
|-assets
|-test-folder
|-img.png
|-.htacess
|-index.php
in this setup, laravel base_path() is project/core . This where all laravel core files and folders are stored.
Now I have folder test-folder with an image img.png . If i go to http://localhost/project/new-folder/img.png it will return the image but if i go http://127.0.0.1:8000/new-folder/img.png will return 404. If i use a live server and go http://livewebsite.com/new-folder/img.png , it loads.
I can't comment due to reputation, but what you're doing might be unsafe!
This way all your project files will be public, which can expose credentials and exposes Composer packages to the public as well. This means any PHP file in any Composer package can be executed, which can lead to remote code execution, which has happened before here and is described here.

Issue with Storage on shared hosting

I am deploying my first project on a shared hosting.
I followed this tutorial to deploy the website and turn the public folder into the public_html folder of my hosting plan.
When I upload an image from my website (with storeAs() method), the file is uploaded in the private/storage folder, not the public one (where I would like).
The asset() function try to display the image from public_html/storage.
What can I do ?
Thank you :)
My files are like this :
private/
- app/
- bootstrap/
- config/
- database/
- resources/
- routes/
- storage/
- tests/
- vendor/
public_html/
- css/
- js/
- images/
- js/
- storage/
(Laravel 8, trying to be hosted on Hostinger)

Why does this problem happen?
If you implement and need storage matter in your project then you need to link storage folder to the public folder for security reason and to make the URL simple, clean and readable by the users, so when you upload the laravel project to a server, you need to run the following command line to complete the linking process:
php artisan storage:link
and since you host the laravel project to a shared server, so you don’t have access to a terminal to run the above-mentioned command line . so I’ll show you a way to do that manually without using SSH or the terminal.
Steps to fix the problem
1- At localhost server-side (before uploading the project to the server), make sure that you have done filesystem configuration, then run the following command line:
php artisan storage:link
after that you will get a message “The links have been created.” and that is ok for now.
2- Upload the project to the server, the storage link will not work as you expected, so we need to start fixing this.
3- Go to the public folder you will find a folder called “storage”, delete it.
4- Go to routes folder and open “web.php” file, then copy & paste the following code at the top of the file:
Route::get('/linkstorage', function () {
Artisan::call('storage:link') // this will do the command line job
});
Don’t forget to save the changes.
Also, you can do the same process via “api.php” and using requests tools like postman.
5- Now we just need to run this code, so we need to do the GET request by entering the following URL at browser search bar:
“https://www.your-domain.com/public/index.php/linkstorage”
or
“https://www.your-domain.com/public/linkstorage”
this request will run the above code “Artisan::call('storage:link')” which is, in turn, will run the command line
PHP artisan storage: link
now you can go to the public folder and you will see the “storage” folder created again and marked as a shortcut folder and that means the public storage folder now is linked to the storage folder of the project.
6- Now if you upload or create a file to the storage folder, then it will appear in the public/storage folder too, now you can hit the URL of the file at the search bar of the browser and you will get the file successfully :).
Ok guys i found the solution !
Here is how to deploy your Laravel project on one shared hosting using public_html folder : https://dev.to/pushpak1300/deploying-laravel7-app-on-shared-hosting-hostinger-31cj
This will work but you can have a problem (like me) with the storeAs() method if you deal with file uploads.
To solve this problem, I edited the MyProject/config/filesystem.php by adding this in the available disks :
'public_folder' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => 'PATH',
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
]
Replace PATH with the complete path to your public storage (for example /home/you/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/storage/).
Now, open the controller which manage file upload and edit it like this :
request()->image->storeAs('/uploads', 'filename.png', 'public_folder');
This will upload the request()->image in public_html/storage/uploads/filename.png.
I hope it will help you if you had the same problem as me.

Laravel 404 error while viewing image saved in public directory of laravel project

I created Laravel project and able to make it work to get json output as well. However image link in json is not working.
https://android.factory2homes.com/
json: https://android.factory2homes.com/index.php/api/products
image link:https://android.factory2homes.com/index.php/public/12142.jpg
i tried creating symlink and copied same image in storage folder as well, but not able to make it work.
The public folder in a Laravel project is basically the root folder that shows up on the website URL.
For security issues, you really don't want the users to have the ability to write anything directly on the public folder, because if you are not careful they could overwrite your php scripts and have them do whatever they want.
So generaly speaking you create a simlink inside the public folder to the storage folder that is outside the public directory. Laravel has even a built in artisan command to do that exactly which is:
php artisan storage:link
The URL to any image stored in that folder would be in your example:
https://android.factory2homes.com/storage/12142.jpg
You do not have to put any .php file, or public or anything else.
if the image is inside public then I don't think you need to give the url like index.php/public/someimage.jpg you can just do www.yousiteurl.com/someinage.jpg
I resolved issue by savings images to Public_html folder instead of public folder in Laravel app root folder. Public_html is the path that is visible to public, hence other solutions weren't working.

laravel 5.5 I can not upload my project to the server

I am trying to upload my project to a shared server but I can not, the steps I have followed have been the following:
1- I created a folder outside of public_html and I called it mascotas, there I stored all the folders except the public folder
being as follows:
2.-inside public_html I have saved everything inside the public folder
3.- I have changed the routes within the index file so that they point to the vendor folder, however the error continues, what should I do?
I've resolved it, all was caused by the version of php

Issue with key (cipher error) when changing laravel folder structure

I am changing laravel 5.3 folder structure. What I exactly do is basically move all the content from public folder to root folder, and then all the other files besides public folder to the new created folder - project. Then I update the require paths in index.php, and when I try to run the project via XAMPP, I'm getting this error.
I am pretty sure that the key is set correctly, because I haven't changed anything else but the folder structure and paths, and the project worked before this folder structure change. It seems to me that program can't locate the .env file.
Try running
php artisan config:clear
and
php artisan key:generate
I followed this post
