使用根索引文件访问laravel公用文件夹

Question

Laravel Version - 5.8.

I have to deploy my Laravel project on Shared Hosting without using php artisan serve command. So for that reason, I have renamed my root file server.php file to index.php .

Will there be any security consequences or bug, if I rename the file server.php to index.php ?

Answer 1

you don't need to rename server.php to index.php. Just move the Public/index.php to the root of the folder and change the necessary path inside the index.php after moving. It will work for sure.

Answer 2

If you using cPanel, you can change webroot to public very simple don't need to rename server.php . If not you can using .htaccess to redirect all request to public folder like this :

# public_html/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect All Requests To The Subfolder
    RewriteRule ^ /public

</IfModule>
