How to change public folder to public html in laravel 5

Question

I'm using a shared hosting which uses cPanel as its control panel and within the cPanel public_html is the default root directory, because of this I can't get my Laravel application work properly.

Is there any way to make Laravel use public_html instead of public folder?

Hello,

you can register the following code at Application Service Provider (App\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php).

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

public function register()
{
    $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
        return base_path().'/public_http';
    });
}

Hope it works!!

Thank You!!
