Laravel 5 - Copied Entire Project to Sub-Folder | 404 Error

Its not a recommended solution. You would need to mess with .htaccess as well as any urls that have been coded to be relative to the root '/'

Mmmm that is a pity because I do not have many alternatives. Someone wants to use my solution on their existing domain.

maybe , you can change the port , like domain.com:8080 to run laravel , 80 to run original

consider a subdomain

site2.customerdomain.com

then you can still have everything relative to root.

Awesome @snapey never thought about that one! So then I can have my file structure exactly is my working domain?

yes. the site is not really aware it runs in a subdomain

Okay cool - I did just that. Cleared all cache: route, view, cache but still I can access my root route. Home page loads perfectly.

But when I browse to any child route I get Document not found.

Please any suggestion much appreciated :)

If have even setup a basic test Route::get() bit won't work.

Route::get("/test", function() {
	dd("Test");
});

Also cleared browser history. When change home route it works but no other child routes will work. My .env also updated to correct domain (sub).

Okay for future reference - got it solved. .htaccess file was the damn issue.

When I put /index.php/user then sub routes working.

My .htaccess that solved the issue:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # 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>
