How to rename the root folder?

Question

htaccess

I created a small project on laravel, I want to upload it to hosting, but there was a problem: there is a htdocs folder in the domain folder - the root folder for statics. But in laravel the web root folder name is public. What to do? Contact hosting support or set up htaccess? Rename the folder on the hosting is obtained.

So that there are no jambs with redirects later, it is better to make a symlink. You drop the folder with the project into the root of the domain (next to the public_html folder). You delete public_html, only the folder with the project remains. Connect via ssh, go to the folder with the domain using cd (on the screen for example, the folder with the domain is called site.com, the folder with the project project), and enter the command

ln -s project/public public_html

she will create the necessary link
