public to public_html

[zdarin]

Hello,

Can some one explain what im doing wrong Im working with shared hosting and when public folder renamed for public_html writes error can someone explain how correctly change without errors? Or its seems to be fixed ??

By npm run dev throws errors but seems working Or i need public folder exist too for laravel vite to work and public_html for host ?

You should not use Vite's publicDir config, as that has a different purpose. Instead you may set the publicDirectory for the Laravel Plugin.

// ...

laravel({
    input: "resources/js/app.js",
    publicDirectory: "public_html",
}),

// ...

Thx its fixed this with public error but in browser i have error

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()

I think somthing with manifest / assests it should be ??

With that information I'm not sure what the issue is or if it is related to the vite plugin or not.

guys i have an issue when deploying a Inertia Laravel app, the issue is that i move the public folder's files from the larvel project to the public_html folder of the hosting, but this error occurs, is there a way to tell vite to look for the build folder in the public_html folder outside of laravel's directory?

delete config file on Hosting server from

bootstrap\cache\config.php

idk why mine doesn't work, The Vite.php file is looking in the public folder of the laravel(folder structure that is in development)

@Rage-coder69, you need to tell Laravel where your new public directory is. You can do this in the register method of a service provider:

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

yes thank you for your reply, i had to tell laravel my new public directory and had to update the code in the core files, and after that tweaking, the website starting working.

Hey folks, I just removed some comments here as they were exposing your servers file structure and it could be a potential security risk.

Just better to be safe than sorry 🔐
