Laravel usually uses a public folder for actual website, so you have to configure it:

.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…

Without it, the server will just show an error instead.

But if I search my username.epidy.com I get a weird error.

Even if it’s a typo (it should be epizy.com), we never said anywhere that you could access your website with that syntax.

I got it to work eventually, but now its broken again… I get a 500 internal server error. And no it has nothing to do with my .htacces

a 500 error is likely an error in your pages PHP.

you can turn on the full error massage in your account dashboard

Being redirected to the 500 error page like you see is ALWAYS caused by .htaccess problems. Just because you don’t know what the error is doesn’t mean that there is no error.

And I had a quick look at the .htaccess file, and I see an obvious problem: you have a RewriteRule that points to a non-existent directory. Please keep in mind that all servers, like basically all hosting servers from all providers, run on Linux, and on Linux, file and folder names are case sensitive.
