I just finished setting up database into the cpanel and uploaded the project into the cpanel. I zipped the project and uploaded that way. I moved all the files from 'public' folder into the public_html and the rest into a new directory called 'house' and after that I edited the index.php file as follows
require __DIR__.'/../house/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../house/bootstrap/app.php';
Still the website is inaccessible. I must be missing something from the beginning. In firefox, the page is blank and google chrome says This page isn’t working. Do I have to change the .env and database.php inside config? I have followed all the instruction shown in some of the helpful videos but nothing seem to work for me.
My current .env file has following lines (no credential set up)
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
