Getting Forbidden Access while creating symlink.

I am using shared hosting to deploy Laravel app. there is public_html folder. so I mapped public folder to public_html in providers. Now it is giving me forbidden access. how to solve this?

Looks like your host does not allow it.

  1. Write up to them.

  2. Get yourself better hosting like Digital Ocean + Laravel Forge.

Hope it helps!
