How to deploy laravel 4.2 on shared hosting?

Question

I developed an application with laravel 4.2.8 and now I am having trouble deploying it. I followed this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/16683938/3153380 but its not worki

Answer 1

I just add a new folder in the / folder on my shared hosting

www.domain.com

Where i add a sub folder called

public/

So that the path looks like this

/www.domain.com/public/

And from the CPANEL i link the domain name root folder to the

www.domain.com/public/

And then i just upload the laravel application in

/www.domain.com

It works for laravel 4.2 and 5. And there is no security breaches because the root domain folder is in the public folder of the laravel app, no need for updating the .htaccess file.

It just works.
