Laravel - Vite project Failing to host in Cpanel hosting service

Hi I am trying to host my laravel project to Cpanel hosting service but getting 404() error. It works completely fine in my localhost. I modified .htaccess to below but no luck: <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]

# Send Requests To Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Followed below Steps:

  1. Compressed my entire laravel project and uploaded to public_html/larav folder
  2. Moved all files inside public_html/larav/public/. to public_html/larav/.
  3. Modified path directories inside index.php to match the exact path
  4. Using .htaccess file above

But still unable to host my website in cpanel. Please help!!

@manojb It should be inside public folder right?

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/ [L]
