Laravel Application is not working after uploading to the server

Question

My laravel Application was working perfect on the local server. But After I uploaded it to my server it is not working. The directory structure of my application is shown in

Answer 1

Try visiting http://127.0.0.1/Workshop/public_html

There is no index.php or .htaccess in the Workshop folder. These would normally be inside public but looks like you have public_html instead

Answer 2

If you are placing the Laravel app inside the public_html or inside a subfolder, you have to set some rules for the .htaccess. Please refer to this answer:

If you want to install the web app on the root of the server, please place all the content of the application in the root directory and rename the public folder to the public_html or www or web, whatever is the public folder of your domain.

Answer 3

Make sure you have correct web server configuration. You should point web server to a public directory and restart it.

Also, make sure you've set correct permissions on a storage directory:

chmod -R 775 storage

And try to clear all cache:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan clear-compiled

Answer 4

I had trouble with this also. What you have to do is put the "public" folder in your "www" directory (or the appropriate public_html folder if you use a virtual machine). Next you have to put the WHOLE application in your var folder in a directory of your choice, lets call it "MySuperCoolFolder". Finally, you have to modify the index.php file. More specifically, these two lines.

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

to

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

and

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

to

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

And that should do it. If it does not work. Go to the documentation and use the .htaccess file they provide. That did the trick for me.

Best of Luck!
