Running into an issue with envoy deployment to a subfolder public_html/app cPanel domain is pointing to public_html/app/current/public
I have tried adjusting where the directory path is and assigning appropriate .htaccess directives, but the server continues to show the folders, not the application rendering.
Any suggestions?
if your host allows it install laravel above public_html, then delete public_html and recreate it as a symlink to laravels public folder
This is the only really truly secure method, and I have multiple sites hosted on cpanel shared hosting using this technique
@Snapey I have root access to whm.
So the suggestion is to install the app within the /home/<cpanel_user>/app and then symbolically link to a folder within public_html/app ?
@danielw no, as long as you only have this one site, blow away the public_html folder then recreate it as a symbolic link pointing to public
so if you did ls of public_html you would see laravel public folder
and then use the standard laravel directory structure and .htaccess
