Deploy Server ​

To move index.php out of the public folder in a Laravel project, you can adjust the directory structure and replace this code in index.php


// Register the Composer autoloader...

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

// Bootstrap Laravel and handle the request...

(require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php')
    ->handleRequest(Request::capture());

"When setting up the domain, ensure that the document root points to the /public directory." This ensures that only the necessary files for public access (such as index.php) are served by the web server, improving security and keeping sensitive files outside the public directory.
