403 Access denied

I recently uploaded my Laravel project via FTP Filezilla, and then when i visited my site it is access denied. Is there a waiting time before i see my site?

[Topher7lol]

did you input any correct credentials, such as password, host, etc? If there is a typo then it would deny you access, if its giving you a waiting time, it might be because you input the incorrect password and attempted to login many times, so it then time outed you from attempting to login.

[huffkinson]

Well, i just uploaded the whole folder like before, but it gave me this error… I dont think i have problems with the passwords since i did not update the .env file maybe i’ll double check just to be sure

[Topher7lol]

are you using node somewhere in your site?

[Topher7lol]

You could have an incorrect node version, or node not setup.

[huffkinson]

I am not using nodes in particular.

[huffkinson]

maybe, i’ll try to delete all folders and then re upload the files? do you think it might work?

[Topher7lol]

no, that won’t do anything, because they’ll be exactly the same, try searching softaculous for a node.js version to install, since you’re using env

[huffkinson]

ok, i apologize, i didn’t quite understand. but i will try my best to look for softaculous and what it means

[Topher7lol]

That’s completely fine, softaculous is on the Cpanel.

You cannot install node.js applications here, as serverside JavaScript is not supported.

Additionally, the application will throw out a different error (at least it should) if this is a credential issue.

Please ensure you exported your project correctly, and have uploaded the correct files to the correct location. Make sure no files were deleted by the server, and consider reading past issues that other users have had

The message shown is slightly different because you removed the default .htaccess, but the error code and the common underlying causes are still the same. Could you please check if any of the causes applies to your site?

Redirected to InfinityFree 403 Forbidden page

While working on your website, you may be redirected to the InfinityFree 403 error page. This article explains why this can happen, and what you can do to solve it. The directory does not contain an index file If you try to request a URL without a file name in the URL (e.g. http://example.com/ or http://example.com/blog/), the server will look for a so-called index file. An index file is a file with the name index.php, index.html, index.htm or index2.html in the folder you’re trying to access.…

Ok, so I tried a different approach

I created another domain and uploaded all the files. but, to access the site, i used the /public/ prefix and it’s working. Since i’m a beginner in this area, I am amazed and also wondering how this works when in my original site it’s not

[huffkinson]

This truly is a learning experience for me, and I want to learn more.

I am amazed and also wondering how this works when in my original site it’s not

When I checked your original site, only the vendor folder was there, the rest of the Laravel codebase was missing.

@huffkinson

i used the /public/ prefix and it’s working

If you want, you can remove the public prefix using .htaccess rules:

.htaccess for Laravel

I was just playing around with a Laravel installation on free hosting. Normally, you should change the document root of your website to the public folder with Laravel. You can’t do this on free hosting, but you can simulate this with .htaccess rules. These are the the .htaccess rules I used: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L] Simply create a file with the name .htaccess and these contents and upload it directly to your htdocs folder. This should rewrite all web requests to the p…
