How do I change the root directory of a site?

There is a hosting service, cPanel is on it, I installed laravel and CMS built on this framework there.

The final touch that remains to be done (judging by the developers ' manual) is to replace the root directory of the site with public_html to public_html/public, so that the loading of scripts, styles, etc., etc., works correctly

In cPanel itself, I did not find the ability to change the root directory of the site, maybe there is a way to do this in .htaccess or in httpd.conf?

You can just write the application path in httpd. conf

DocumentRoot "/path_to_laravel_project/public_html/public"
<Directory "/path_to_laravel_project/public_html/public">

Or in .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public_html/public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

You need to create a symbolic link from the project folder via SSH

Ln -s public/ public_html
