Laravel public path same level as base path

Hi,

I think you can do move the file from "Laravel/public/." to you "/public_html/" Then update index.php

require __DIR__.'Laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'Laravel/bootstrap/app.php';

Hi,

You must update index.php as said above.

But as "public" is hard coded in application.php you must change it in a provider :

App::bind('path.public', function() {
    return base_path().'/public_html';
});

At last you have to protect all other folders.

Hi @bestmomo,

I still cant figure out how this works. I tried adding 'public_html' to AppServiceProvider register() function " public function register() "

{
        $this->app->bind(
            'Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Registrar',
            'App\Services\Registrar'
        );
        $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
            return base_path().'/public_html';
        });
}

But when i call return public_path in my view i am getting home/vagrant/Code/website/public_html instead of home/vagrant/Code/public_html. Can you please advice me?

Cheers Thomas

I think I dont really understand what you want to achieve.

khaledSMQ's solution worked for me but I also had to move the index.php file up from the /up_one_level/public folder to the /up_one_level folder. Also, had to remove an ill-advised .htaccess from that /up_one_level folder. So index.php should be up a level from /public. Hope this helps because I spent a good week or so trying to find the correct solution. Lord knows Apache is a TERRIBLE program, in my opinion and I will be staying very far away from it in my future endeavors.

I believe this is often resolved with the use of symlinks, which can be a tad cleaner. This thread seems to go over it pretty well: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/servers/laravel-51-on-shared-hosting-not-working?page=2
