I have a Laravel site that I recently transitioned over from being hosted by Wordpress. I am now using Bluehost for hosting, which is using pHp 8.2. I regenerated the vendor folder but am still seeing the file index when I go to my site url. What are the most common fixes for this?
Seeing file index (a list of files on the web server) means the web server is not configured properly and doesn't pass incoming request to PHP. This is not related to Laravel. I think you should ask your hosting support.
Can you show or describe what exactly you see, what is "seeing the file index" exactly?
Laravel 6 doesn't support PHP 8.2. Migrate the project to a newer version.
PHP 7 and Laravel 6 are both no longer supported, and they stopped receiving security updates years ago.
