I will cover the following here:
1.Compress the entire project folder on your local machine. You'll get a zip file – laravelApp.zip
2.Upload the laravelApp.zip to the root directory – the public_html.
3.Extract the laravelApp.zip here.
4.Create a database on your web host.There's easy way of importing and exporting databases from a local machine.login to PHPMyAdmin from your computer locate the database your project uses, from the toolbar find the export tool.
5.Open .env file. Change APP_URL=yourdomain and Database name and user
6.IMPORTANT ! first remove storage folder from "public_html/public", then create file for example link.php in public_html/ directory and add below lines
$targetFolder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/storage/app/public';
$linkFolder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/public/storage';
symlink($targetFolder,$linkFolder);
echo 'Success';
7.Then get yoursite.com/link.php
8.Create .htaccess file for (the public_html.). add below lines
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L]
9.Everyting is ok.Deploy completed.
