I have been using Godaddy for my shared hosting plan for the past few months. What you have to do is the following...
- Install the contents of your Laravel public folder into Godaddy's public_html folder
- Install your entire Laravel project 1 folder up from public_html
- Go into your public_html's index.php and modify the require/include statements to properly point to your project
Here is what my structure looks like
Godaddy folder's
public_html
| -index.php
| -.htaccess
| -robots.txt
| -favicon.ico
| css
| |
| js
| |
| images
my_laravel_project
| Laravel folders are in here (App, bootstrap, config, vendor, resources, etc.)
public_html folder's index.php file would look like this...
<?php
/**
* Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
*
* @package Laravel
* @author Taylor Otwell <[email protected]>
*/
/*

| Register The Auto Loader
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Composer provides a convenient, automatically generated class loader for
| our application. We just need to utilize it! We'll simply require it
| into the script here so that we don't have to worry about manual
| loading any of our classes later on. It feels nice to relax.
|
*/
require __DIR__.'/../../my_laravel_project/bootstrap/autoload.php';
/*

| Turn On The Lights
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| We need to illuminate PHP development, so let us turn on the lights.
| This bootstraps the framework and gets it ready for use, then it
| will load up this application so that we can run it and send
| the responses back to the browser and delight our users.
|
*/
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../my_laravel_project/bootstrap/app.php';
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Run The Application
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Once we have the application, we can handle the incoming request
| through the kernel, and send the associated response back to
| the client's browser allowing them to enjoy the creative
| and wonderful application we have prepared for them.

*/
$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class);
$response = $kernel->handle(
$request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture()
);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);
