Abyss Web Server

Has anyone set up Laravel on Abyss Web Server http://www.aprelium.com/

I am new to laravel, php etc.

I installed my laravel app that was generated by composer outside of \htdocs which is a writable directory. The copied the \public files to \htdocs and set the path to my laravel project and it works.

Does this sound correct? Thanks.

Any reason to use Abyss WS? Sounds right though... only thing is I'm not sure why you moved the public files to a htdocs folder?

I was wondering the same thing... I think it should be ok though. Most people would put the whole project in the htdocs directory and then let the url point to the public directory

I am using windows. I want to host my own site. Its got a lot of great features. Its fast. When I put the whole project in htdocs all the directories are visible. I thought the public directory was visible to public and setting the path for the project would be the correct thing to do. Thanks, again for any things I may be missing.
