Laravel 5.2 Change public folder to public_html on shared server

Question

I have uploaded my project to godaddy and moved public folder content to public_html. Project is working fine but Intervention image is unable to write in public path as it is not there. Below is the message:

Can't write image data to path (/home/username/public/uploads/...

So obviously public_path() is wrong, its still pointing public. But it should be public_html now. So my question is how can I change this to public_html in Laravel 5.2?

Answer 1

Try this in index.php:

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

// set the public path to this directory
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
    return __DIR__;
});
