How to put laravel 5.3 project on shared hosting - php

I made a laravel project on my localserver. I just copy the project folder and pasted on my web server in public_html folder. It's giving an error when i open it.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Can anyone please let me know step by step how to put my laravel project on web serve?

Well there are three ways to upload and make workable on shared hosting which I came to know.
Rename server.php file to index.php (which is not the correct way)
Shift public/* to root (also, its not the correct way)
Need to add a line in public/index.php after initialization of $app
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return _DIR_;
});
and that's proper way as per my knowledge.

(My last answer was deleted before I could submit my edits, so here's another, more complete answer)
There is an easy answer, and a long answer.
Long answer
The most important part to know is that the only part of Laravel that should be accessible to the public is in the public folder. Which means that, on your shared host, the content of public should reside in whatever folder is the public on your host (they usually are named "www", or "public_html", but it can be anything, really).
I'm going to assume here that you have only one project on your account and say that, if it's the case, you now only need to upload every other file and folder at the same level as the public folder you have and set the correct permission to the storage folder.
In the end, if the only thing you do is upload all of your project to the root folder of your account, then rename Laravel's public folder to public_html, this is supposed to work (of course, assuming that you can also use the CLI and call artisan and composer commands).
Easy answer
If you can use the command line and create synlinks on your host, you can simplify your life by uploading all of your project into a folder outside of the public_html folder and symlink public to your public_html like so: ln -s /full/path1/project/public /full/path/to/public_html
Detailed answer and more tips
You can read this article that goes into more detail and gives commands to achieve everything. I tried to keep my answer as concise as possible, so if you want a more step by step approach, this link or a bit of google searching will do the trick!

Laravel server files from the public/ directory. So try a URL like this instead:
http://example.com/laravel/public
If that works, you'll need to move some files around a bit. This should help with moving things around:

How to rewrite or remove public from laravel 5 urls in proper way?

I'm trying to remove the public/index from laravel url, since this is one of the common question so there are lot of tutorials and answer. I also searched about this and followed the #rimon.ekjon answer which is working fine for me it's pretty simple.
Rename the server.php in the your Laravel root folder to index.php and copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root folder. -- Thats it !! :)
I'm confuse why i should rename or move something from one place to another because there will be a reason why files exist in public folder. I want to show another good answer which is also following the almost same pattern.
I'm thinking that by following above answers' step may be create some issues in future if there will be a new requirement or new feature request in the project.
So can anyone guide me is there any best to rewrite or remove the public/index from laravel 5. I would like to appreciate if someone guide me.
You should configure your web server's document / web root to be the public directory. That way you don't have to copy/move/delete anything.
For apache you can look here.
For nginx you can read here.
I've visited your link and saw really terrible advices.
You do no need to move any Laravel files or modify them. What you need is to setup web server. You need to point it to a public directory which is inside Laravel project root folder.
Please look here for an example config directives for Apache and nginx.
One other option is to symlink the public folder to your server's root folder (e.g. /var/www/). This article is a great guide on how to do this.
On your dev environment however you can use php artisan serve.
In case, if you don't have access to you server config, this is a perfect solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/32580688/5015089 .
Remove public from url without htaccess. It will work on laravel latest versions also.
step 1. Copy all files from public and paste on root directory
step 2. Open index.php file remove ../ from path as given below
Laravel5:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
and
require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
to
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';
Laravel 7:
require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';

Affect on security of Laravel 5 when change folder structure to remove public folder

I'm new in Laravel 5.
I found this Laravel 5 - Remove public from URL on Stack Overflow to remove public folder from my Laravel 5 App. Only I have a question about the security.
When I am removing public from URL, then I have to change the basic folder structure of Laravel 5. Yes, it's working fine without the public from the URL.
But what's about the security of Laravel, because I am changing the default folder structure? Is it secure to use?
You should be pointing your Apache host root to the $LARAVEL_PATH/public directory instead of $LARAVEL_PATH.
The point of having sub directory for www host root instead of project root is that you're not leaking any of your project files through your web server.
Even though all the PHP files have the file suffix .php, malicious user can access your $LARAVEL_PATH/storagedirectory and its subdirectory contents, read your composer.json or package.json to find vulnerable dependencies or read .env file etc.
If you're running on shared hosting and you have mandatory public_html, try installing Laravel outside of that public_html directory and either removing public_html (if empty) and replace it with symlink to $LARAVEL_PATH/public OR if you want the Laravel instance to be subdirectory ofpublic_html, do the same but create symlink from$LARAVEL_PATH/publictopublic_html/$PROJECT_SUBDIR`.
That public directory is there for reason to make project a bit more secure. Solve the actual problem and don't try to break this simple but nice security addition. :)
you this link you provided is not about changing the actual file structure of the framework, this example uses mod_rewrite to rewrite the url of your application. In other words you are telling your server that you would like to point to that directory without the full path is visible to the end user.
Also take a look on the below answers of the link you've provided.
Rename the server.php in the your Laravel root folder to index.php and
copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root
folder. -- Thats it !! :)

Change .htaccess file in laravel 4

I have a problem when upload laravel project on my shared hosting. On that hosting I have two addon domains with separate folders in document root. But when I put laravel project in document root and move everything from public folder in root to remove that "/public" from url, I cant access to my addon domains. I'm getting 500 Internal service error. When I remove .htaccess file I can access to my other domains, but I can't access to my Laravel project. How can I change default laravel .htaccess file?
Well, you should not move everything from public folder, this is a very important part of your Laravel application, it was built this way to separate your application source code from the public files anyone can access, if you make your application root also your public folder, anyone will be able to access any php files from your application, and this is so unsafe...
What you need to do is to point your document root to /serverRoot/applicationRoot/public.
If you really cannot do that, I'm afraid you'll have to edit index.php and try to change thos two lines:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
And see if it works for you.
EDIT
Laravel's default .htaccess file is there just for rewriting your URLs, so you dont see aindex.php` on them. Basically it does 2 things:
1) If you access your site using http://www.site.com/, internally it will point to http://www.site.com/index.php.
2) When you access your site using http://www.site.com/index.php it hides the index.php part.
This is kind of recursive, because the first step leads to the second one.
Now you have to think and see how this is conflicting with your other domains, because the files you are serving in those domains matters and since we are not aware of what they are, helping more is kind of difficult.

Install a Laravel 4 Application in the Public directory of a site?

Is there anyway possible to install a Laravel PHP application into the same directory?
What I mean is as I see it, you have to install the whole Laravel application 1 directory under the the main Public directory.
I know that you can change the Public directory to anything in the settings but the server my client has, they really need for everything to live in 1 directory.
Current Folder Structure....
app/
bootstrap/
vendor/
public/
artison
server.php
If this was all dropped into a Public directory on the server, then you would have to access the application/website at the domain www.domain.com/public/
I am hoping there is a way to put all these files/folders into a public or www htdocs type folder and still access the application at the root.
I know the main reason to keep the PHP files out of the Public accessible folder is for security but in my clients situation this is not possible the way there server is configured.
Surely there is a way to do this?
Try putting contents of public in same directory as other folders, and then edit your index.php previously in public to look something like this
require __DIR__./bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
I haven't tried this. Just came to my mind right now
Anyway, I'm doing this by keeping app, boootstrap, vendor in / of my hosting, and contents of public are in my public_html. It works fine, and I guess it could be a security plus.
