If you are trying to host your Laravel app on a shared hosting, this may help you.

If you want PHP 5.4 add this line to your .htaccess file or call your hosting provider.

AddType application/x-httpd-php54 .php

In Laravel 5 x there is no paths php  so you should edit public index php and change this lines in order to to pint to your bootstrap directory    require   DIR          bootstrap autoload php       app   require once   DIR          bootstrap app php       for more information you can read this article

I believe - your Laravel files folders should not be placed in root directory    e g  If your domain is pointed to public html directory then all content should placed in that directory  How   let me tell you   Copy all files and folders   including public folder   in public html Copy all content of public folder and paste it in document root   i e  public html   Remove the public folder Open your bootstrap paths php and then changed  public    gt    DIR        public   into  public    gt    DIR          and finally in index php   Change     require   DIR        bootstrap autoload php     app   require once   DIR        bootstrap start php      into    require   DIR     bootstrap autoload php     app   require once   DIR     bootstrap start php      Your Laravel application should work now

No  but you have a couple of options   The easiest is to upload all the files you have into that directory you re in  i e  the cPanel user home directory   and put the contents of public into public html  That way your directory structure will be something like this  slightly messy but it works           composer       cpanel              app                   lt - your laravel app directory     etc      bootstrap             lt - your laravel bootstrap directory     mail      public html           lt - your laravel public directory     vendor      artisan               lt - your project s root files   You may also need to edit bootstrap paths php to point at the correct public directory   The other solution  if you don t like having all these files in that  root  directory would be to put them in their own directory  maybe  laravel   that s still in the root directory and then edit the paths to work correctly  You ll still need to put the contents of public in public html  though  and this time edit your public html index php to correctly bootstrap the application  Your folder structure will be a lot tidier this way  though there could be some headaches with paths due to messing with the framework s designed structure more           composer       cpanel              etc      laravel        lt - a directory containing all your project files except public         app          bootstrap          vendor          artisan     mail      public html    lt - your laravel public directory

All of your Laravel files should be in one location  Laravel is exposing its public folder to server  That folder represents some kind of front-controller to whole application  Depending on you server configuration  you have to point your server path to that folder  As I can see there is www site on your picture  www is default root directory on Unix Linux machines   It is best to take a look inside you server configuration and search for root directory location  As you can see  Laravel has already file called  htaccess  with some ready Apache configuration

Had this problem too and found out that the easiest way is to point your domain to the public folder and leave everything else the way they are   PLEASE ENSURE TO USE THE RIGHT VERSION OF PHP  Save yourself some stress
