Laravel application on sub-directory - php

Question

The laravel application seems to have routes issue with the sub-directory on server. With the running application on local machine does not work on temporary domain in sub-directory on live server. Playing around .htaccess seems to have different results.
This question is almost identical to what I would be looking for but he hasn't got any solution while I have got some work around.
The .htaccess within the laravel public have been modified to something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~timely/email-client //<--base has been modified
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The application will redirect you to host gator 404 page.
Also I've added .htaccess to the main directory which will forward every request to public directory.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Upon removing the home/main .htaccess just works for / route: e.g
http://gator4057.temp.domains/~timely/email-client/public will work but all other routes are redirected to the same host gator 404 page.
Your comments and answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Step 1. Move all email-client/public to email-client/. Now we're getting somewhere. Warning: Don't forget to copy the .htaccess file too
Step 2. Open email-client/index.php in your favorite editor and change
$app = require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
to
$app = require __DIR__.'/../email-client/bootstrap/app.php';
or may be
$app = require __DIR__.'/email-client/bootstrap/app.php';
and change:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php'
to
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php'
or may be
require __DIR__.'/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php'
Run command:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan optimize
OR
If you dont wana to do more changes try this:
Put this in index.php file
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return __DIR__;
}
Hope work for you.
