Change Laravel public folder to public_html

Change your public folder name to public_html
Open server.php and change the public name to public_html in the same way as shown below.

<?php

/**
 * Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
 *
 * @package  Laravel
 * @author   Taylor Otwell <[email protected]>
 */

$uri = urldecode(
    parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH)
);

// This file allows us to emulate Apache's "mod_rewrite" functionality from the
// built-in PHP web server. This provides a convenient way to test a Laravel
// application without having installed a "real" web server software here.
if ($uri !== '/' && file_exists(__DIR__.'/public_html'.$uri)) {
    return false;
}

require_once __DIR__.'/public_html/index.php';

In the AppServiceProvider.php file, Register a new public path. Replace the register function with the following code. Our public path has changed to public_html.

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

Open config\filesystems.php and replace the following code. The following code of line will help you to create a storage link in the public_html folder by running this command

php artisan storage:link

'links' => [
    base_path('public_html/storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
],

Open webpack.mix.js public name with public_html in this file

const mix = require('laravel-mix');

/*

 mix.setPublicPath('public_html/')


mix.version([
    'front/css/style.min.css',
]);
