I am uploading a simple subscription page for my website using cPanel. I uploaded the files to public_html, moved the files from public folder and modify index.php so it points to the application. The PHP version I used to code this application is 7.3 but I had to select the 7.2 version in the host because that was the latest available.
When I load my website I get this error “This page isn’t working bazzaar.net is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500”
When I remove everything from the index.php file and add a simple echo the page loads.
I really need HELP with this. the error logs are below:

The problem seems to be with PHP version. Laravel 6 requires PHP >=7.2.5 and Hostgator only had 7.1 as the latest version. So i had to contact customer support and ask for the latest PHP version.
Also, mbStrings which was a requirement for laravel was turned off.
Assuming the cpanel has no other website and your laravel project is supposed to be the default project.
public_html
folderThis website might provide more details https://dev.to/asapabedi/deploying-laravel-5-applications-on-shared-hosting-without-the-use-of-ssh–16a6
AS OF MAY 2020 LARAVEL 7.0
This is what worked for me:
Update the php version of cpanel to the requirements of laravel version say laravel 7.0 needs https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/installation
Check that all required extensions are installed
Then if you are having problems with .htacess, I recommend that you test by..
creating a simple index.html
just add a line like
Hello World
then zip all files in your public_html (including the .htaccess) and upload the index.html
refresh the target url say domain.com
when it works you are ready for the next step
(if it doesn’t try debugging / finding out why)
Upload your database (assuming its already exported) by…
Go to MySQL Databases
create a database with the exact name of your database to be added
then create a MySQL user and give him all priviledges to the database
Go to phpmyadmin in cpanel and import the exported sql file
Zip your working laravel project and upload it to the home folder
In cpanel extract and…
PLEASE NOTE:
place all folders in the home
pick contents of public including .htaccess to public_html
THE FOLDER AND FILE STRUCTURE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS YOUR LARAVEL PROJECT ON
YOUR COMPUTER (except public is now public_html)
WARNING: DON’T TOUCH YOUR index.php or server.php
Make hidden files visible in your cpanel then finally edit the .env file by…
Only editing DB username and password (I expect the DB name to be the same)
Also you want to leave APP_DEBUG as true for testing (YOU MUST TEST)
When all is well change it to false
If you have no database, what are waiting for refresh already
Though even with a Database NOWS THE TIME refresh
follow these steps:
TO
AND
TO
Create a new directory named public_html/myapp on your host.
Inside your Laravel project you have a public directory. Copy the content of that public directory into the public_html/myapp directory you created on your host.
On the same level with public_html folder (not inside it!), create a new directory named myapp-laravel on your host.
Excepting the public folder, copy every folder and file (ex. app folder, .env file, …) from your Laravel project into the myapp-laravel folder on your host.
Edit the public_html/myapp/index.php file like this:
to require
to
Find article here.
Firstly, upload the project in a folder in your cpanel. in my case it is named
project
.Then, upload the public folder in
public_html
, and change the index.php file based on the folder you uploaded your project.Note: If you face any due to cache remove file config.php in directory bootstrap/cache.
You don’t need to make changes to the structure of Laravel. Just copy below htaccess code and paste in .htaccess file at the root of your laravel project.
If you are using an Apache server you can do the following simple step
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.

Most of cpanel have now included a tab for laravel project. just click on the laravel tap and the install, follow simple steps given and setup your folder
then create index.php file with redirecting power to your public folder having laravel project. ether the following code..
all is done access your project now using the domsin you entered when creating the project
I got an effective less painless system for both Laravel 8 and 9 version. You can follow, I hope this will help you:
Change this line:
To:
AND Change this line:
To:
Now just upload your application to the shared server and it will work normally.
