How to solve Error 404 when deploying laravel project to Cpanel?

Deploy laravel application in Cpanel

  • Setup 1 : – upload file to Cpanel the root directory – not the public_html.

  • Setup 2 : – Open the that folder and MOVE the CONTENTS of the public folder to your cpanel’s public_html .

  • Setup 3 : – Navigate to the public_html folder and locate the index.php file. Right click on it and select Code Editor from the menu.

and change this line

require __DIR__.'/../folderName/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../folderName/bootstrap/app.php';

NOTE : – folderName here is in root where you laravel application stay

that’s it now all your request will come inside public_html folder index.php and this file will include require __DIR__.'/../folderName/vendor/autoload.php; and run laravel application


Folder structure will look like

/laravel
/public_html/index.php

indside index.php

require __DIR__.'/../laravel/vendor/autoload.php';;
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php'; // here laravel is folder name
