Setup laravel in shared hosting

I'm trying to setup laravel (5.4.12) in shared hosting. Following this tutorial I had deleted my public_html and created soft-link for public_html to public folder of laravel project. I had successfully setup laravel (5.3.29) following the same tutorial for my previous project. But this time when I try to open base url it downloads index.php file of public directory of laravel folder. Can anyone help me out.

You can do it without deleting public_html folder.

for routing to public forlder just add these lines to .htaccess files

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

Finally found the solution. The issue was with PHP version. I had selected PHP version 7.1.0RC4,I changed it to 7.0.12 and the problem is gone.

Normally PHP files are downloaded when the web server isn't configured to serve PHP files. Sounds like you need to talk to your hosting provider.

Laravel 5 setup without artisan serve command

  • Rename the server.php in the your Laravel root folder to index.php

  • copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root folder.
