Uploading Laravel from my localhost to godaddy server - php

Question

My set up in localhost works well. I want to upload my Laravel app to my GoDaddy server. I created an FTP to transfer my Laravel app to my GoDaddy server. As what I've noticed upon creating my FTP account the files is inside /webroot so I created a /webroot/testapp inside testapp is my Laravel app. Inside Laravel app, there is a public folder. As what I've research in google other says only inside the public folder must be inside /public_html and Laravel app will be outside. in my case, it is /webroot. Now upon transferring my Laravel app to my server, I did not separate my public folder. I put it also in testapp folder because when I put the public folder outside my testapp folder and edit the index.php file my main site is in WordPress and it will cause an error. So I added the public folder into my testapp folder. When I tried to run in the browser it says 404 (Page Not Found) Error` so I tried to edit my index.php file below
<?php
/**
* Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
*
* #package Laravel
* #author Taylor Otwell <taylor#laravel.com>
*/
/*

*/
require __DIR__.'/../testapp/public/bootstrap/autoload.php';

*/
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../testapp/public/bootstrap/app.php';
/*

*/
$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class);
$response = $kernel->handle(
$request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture()
);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);
Now can someone help me to work this thing out? I've seen it other tutorials is working well mine is not. Any help is muchly appreciated. TIA

Answer 1

You should upload the whole project from localhost to godaddy and then ask from the support team to edit your hosts pointing to public folder.
This is a shared hosting service , so you can't do it alone. Ask it.

Answer 2

Crete .htaccess in root directory and add this below code:-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Hope it helps!

Answer 3

Follow this tutorial it works for any shared hosting plan.
