Answer 1

it means that your Laravel Application Can't Find the public folder.

I got it to work by

changing :

chdir($this->laravel->publicPath());

in :

vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/ServeCommand.php

To :

chdir('/');

Answer 2

this error appears when you rename the public folder.

Never edit files in vendor folder. After composer update or fresh install you will lose your changes.

A better solution is to edit bootstrap/app.php and place this snippet before the return statement.

$app->bind('path.public', function() {
    return base_path() . '/web';
});

Answer 3

1. Step one In vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/ServeCommand.php

`chdir($this->laravel->publicPath());`

change to 

chdir('/');

2.Step two Change these two paths in your_public_folder/index.php

require __DIR__.'/../your_app/bootstrap/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../your_app/bootstrap/app.php';

3.Step three Change public path in your_app/server.php

    if ($uri !== '/' && file_exists(__DIR__.'/../public_html/'.$uri)) {
    return false;
}

require_once __DIR__.'/../public_html/index.php';

Note: Change these path according to your App's new folder structure.
