On your hosting it should be website.com/courses if installed correctly. Otherwise search for shared hosting on Laracasts or on Google, there must be at least 1 000 000 posts on this subject.

routes doesn't work unless i use artisan serve
Hello guys,
I've finished a project and I'm in deployment state but I'm facing a WEIRD problem , on my laptop I normally use php artisan serve to test my website and all things work just fine and smooth , however when I published it on my hosting -shared- and visit website/public/courses ... wel I get a 404 Not Found page ... I thought it was from my server but when I tried not to use php artisan serve in my laptop and visit localhost/projectName/public/courses I get the same exact page !
I use php artisan serve and visit the same page and it works ! what is the problem form !
here is my routes
Route::get('/','HomeController@index'); Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index'); Route::get('courses','HomeController@courses'); Route::get('course/{id}','HomeController@course'); Route::get('events','HomeController@events'); Route::resource('subscribe','BeneficiaryController'); Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => 'auth'], function() { Route::get('/', function () { return view('admin.index'); }); Route::resource('/courses', 'admin\CoursesController'); Route::delete('/courses/{id}/delete', 'admin\CoursesController@destroy'); Route::resource('/events', 'eventsController'); Route::delete('/events/{id}/delete', 'eventsController@destroy'); Route::get('/subscribtions','AdminController@users'); Route::get('/subscribtions/course/{id}','AdminController@courseUsers'); Route::get('/subscribtions/event/{id}','AdminController@eventUsers'); });
not ,I'm using linux with Apache 2 server

@SaeedPrez It's not about moving the public from the URL , It's about that the routes doesn't work unless I use php artisan serve . courses is a get route from many other routes that doesn't work and it isn't working even on my localhost

if your routes then post an example for them for others to view and inspect to.

@simondavies I edited the post with a copy of my routes

Dont be so quick to dismiss expertise
Remove /ProjectName/public/ from your routes and you will be ok. Why? How about
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
so, the router is expecting the home page to be /home but on your hosting, you are somehow hoping that /ProjectName/public/home will resolve to the same place.
Sort out the path correctly.

@Snapey sorry man but my poor English didn't help me to understand exactly what do you mean .However, I've fixed the problem by just adding index .php so the path on my laptop became localhost/ProjectName/public/index.php/course or any other routes and it worked fine ...The problem was with Cache as I've tried this approach before and didn't work and on cleaning the cache it worked :'D

If you have to add index.php take a look at your server and see if modrewrite is turned on

As @michaelmcmullen has said above, the problem might just be that mod rewrite is not enabled. Secondly, check your apache.conf and verify that AllowOverride for the document root is set to All so that the .htaccess can be used to do the rewriting

Ordinarily you would put it in public, which should be your root folder... oh, no, wait, you already dismissed that as a concept.
