What's your document root set to? – Andrew Mar 03 '22 at 05:20 — Andrew, Mar 03 '22 at 05:20

If you're using cPanel on shared hosting, try the following assuming the root of your project is public_html (you can adjust the path if your project is in another directory within public_html):

Set the document root to the root of the project ie. /public_html
Create an .htaccess file in the root of the project that looks like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

This will direct requests to the public folder.

Create another .htaccess file in the public directory that looks like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    
    

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Send Requests To Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

now i dont have any http status code but when i try to access my webpage its looks like i dont have any internet connection. it says "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" and i don't use shared hosting i think thats the problem :( — a a, Mar 03 '22 at 09:00
So you're using cPanel on a VPS or something? Are you getting any kind of http error code? Is your database connection perhaps not setup properly? — Andrew, Mar 03 '22 at 14:45

Are you getting the issue while accessing the web ?

Step 1: just upload your all source code on the server (make sure database & .env set well) i) make zip and extract it ii) deploy code using git or take a clone from a repository and install all dependencies

Step 2: Make a .htaccess file on the project root directory and copy below code and paste it into this file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
    Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php

or Try with a default Laravel and then upload your code or create laravel project via Cpanel UI and try. Later replace with your custom code. Capture the key and .env files before replacing.
