Deploy Laravel 5 using only FTP in a shared hosting

Question

I need to deploy a laravel 5 project to a client host.

The plan of my client is basic hosting: Linux + MySql without cpanel or similar (i.e. no admin panel).

Answer 1

1. I create a new folder named "protected"
2. Move all except "public" folder into "protected" folder
3. Move all inside "public" folder to root
4. Edit index.php in root folder(from public folder),

edit require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php'; into require __DIR__.'/protected/bootstrap/autoload.php';

also edit $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php'; into $app = require_once __DIR__.'/protected/bootstrap/app.php';
