Question

Hi what i have tried till now.

I have installed composer on my mac I have installed MAMP

I have installed Laravel on my mac at: /laravel

Now when i go to my localhost/laravel

I see a welcome message

but when i uploaded the same on my shared hosting server. I see a blank page :(

Anything i should do to get it working ?

On your remote server you'd normally need to configure the document root to point to the public directory from your Laravel installation. Unfortunately that's generally not possible on shared servers, so you'll need to work around that. Here's a comprehensive article explaining 3 different methods of deploying Laravel on shared servers:
