Deploy Laravel project on subfolder

Question

I'm trying to deploy my Laravel 5.5 project on my web hosting ( PHP version 7.1.xx ). I have multiple hosting on the same server so when I connect using FTP that what I have:

-WEBSITE NUMBER 1
 -- WordPress files

-WEBSITE NUMBER 2
-- WordPress files 

-WEBSITE NUMBER 3
-- WordPress files

Now what I want is a subfolder of www.WEBSITENUMBER3.com/app/ running laravel. So I did 2 folders at the same level:

 -WEBSITE NUMBER 1
 -- WordPress files

-WEBSITE NUMBER 2
-- WordPress files 

-WEBSITE NUMBER 3
-- WordPress files
-- app 
-- laravelApp

Inside of app folder I put the files of the Public directory of Laravel, and in the laravelApp folder I put all my laravel project ( except public folder ) Now the problem is that when I visit www.WEBSITENUMBER3.com/app/ all the links are broken, bootstrap doesn't get load because he tries to load :

www.WEBSITENUMBER3.com/bootstrap

instead of www.WEBSITENUMBER3.com/app/bootstrap

so all the things of my Application. So is there a way to change the root where laravel works? I found impossible and wrong change all links in Laravel manually to make them absolutely I want to keep them relative.

Do you have an `index.php` file inside your public folder? Are the paths to the bootstrap files correct? — Hedegare, May 03 '18 at 09:51

You should set the right path four your app in the .env file, in the root folder.

The APP_URL line should be set like this:

APP_URL=www.WEBSITENUMBER3.com/app/

After changing the .env, you need to restart the webserver. The additional steps depend on your webserver.

Ok i edit the .env, but nothing seems change, i think i have to do a command like "artisan update" or something like that, right? Actually in my webhosting i dont have a console to use, so what the best way to update changes? – Lorenzo Di Giacomo May 03 '18 at 09:36
What is your web hosting? – Bálint Budavölgyi May 03 '18 at 09:40
Well there is not possible to restart the server, Aruba.it does only "manually restart", another way? – Lorenzo Di Giacomo May 03 '18 at 09:43
I think you can always ask for a restart from the support. Alternatively, you can deploy the app again, or delete the `.env` and upload again a bit later. – Bálint Budavölgyi May 03 '18 at 09:45

Yes i can ask, but it takes a long time, 1/2 days ... And if need another update? I always ask for a manual reboot? Welcome in 1990 . – Lorenzo Di Giacomo May 03 '18 at 09:48
This only applies for changes in hidden files. – Bálint Budavölgyi May 03 '18 at 09:49
Im gonna try to delete env and re upload it – Lorenzo Di Giacomo May 03 '18 at 09:49
Could you get it sorted? – Bálint Budavölgyi May 03 '18 at 10:08
I tried updating .env file. but not working. – Jakir Hossen Jul 14 '21 at 15:33
