Setting up a web server on a hosting



You must specify in the settings so that the root directory of the site follow to the public directory public. For example, if the hosting files for the panel are located in /home/your_site, then you must specify /home/your_site/public in the root directory of the site.



Все запросы должны обрабатываться фронт контроллером index.php, запросы к несуществующим каталогам тоже (например к example.com/login, example.com/home и т.д.). Фронт контроллер не должен обрабатывать запросы загрузки файлов css, js.



All requests should be processed by the front controller index.php, requests to non-existing directories too (for example, to example.com/login, example.com/home, etc.). The front controller should not process requests to download files css, js.



If you specify the directory above public (/www/your_site), then the panel will work, but this is not recommended.



It is not recommended that the root directory of the site follow to the root directory with the panel (where the files are .env, composer.json, directories app, vendor). The site root directory should follow to public for various reasons:



    
  
  • Security. If the web server is configured incorrectly, it may happen that someone reads important files, such as the .env file, which contains the login and password for accessing the database.
    • 
  
  • High speed.
    • 




Many hostings do not allow this to be configured in their control panel. You need to contact technical support for manual configuration.



For an example of web server configuration, see Installation/Web Server Setup
