Do not modify any Laravel files. Instead configure your web server (Apache or Nginx) to point to the Laravel project’s public
directory.
For Apache you can use these directives:
DocumentRoot "/path_to_laravel_project/public"
<Directory "/path_to_laravel_project/public">
For nginx, you should change this line:
root /path_to_laravel_project/public;
Having your document root as /path_to_laravel_project/
alone will create serious security risks, potentially opening your entire app configuration to the internet.
