The root of your webserver must be the public directory. if you can't configure it you should consider to change your web hosting.

index.php is not in the public folder
I've done uploaded my fresh laravel project into a web hosting. Now it shows only a blank page. I use the pre-built login stuff in the laravel 5 and the link will is http://mylaravel.mywebhost.com/auth/login even if I enter http://mylaravel.mywebhost.com/public/index.php (as you know, index.php is in the public folder) and I didn't point my subdomain into the public folder. Any ideas, recommendations, clues, suggestions, help to make my laravel 5 work in my subdomain. Currently, I think it is because the index.php is in the public folder and my subdomain did not point in the public folder so the best way is to put the index.php outside the public but how I'm going to tell the laravel 5 that the index.php is outside the public folder like /index.php so that everything works again?

You should point your subdomain to the public folder...

I see, thanks for the quick answer. Anyway, is there any way to make things work if I put the index.php outside the public folder, e.g. /index.php

There isn't, and this would be a security issue as it could potentially give a user access to the rest of your application files.

move your index.php to your path you want then edit in index.php
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php'; //Path to your autoload.php
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php'; // Path to your app.php

Be careful moving the index file up a level since anything above public can be viewed publicly.
You would want to maybe make use of symlinks to get around this.
