Virtual server to shared hosting

DursunCan

I want to transfer my site from virtual server to shared hosting. Will my site work fine if I add the server.php file to the home directory?

DursunCan Flarum doesn't make use of a server.php file. Can you clarify what application you are trying to move?

clarkwinkelmann My site is active on the virtual server. I bought new cpanel shared hosting. I want to keep my site active here.

DursunCan do you mean you're using Laravel? The file you linked only exists in Laravel. Flarum doesn't have such a file.

Additionally the server.php file is only used for serving a local website through PHP's development server. It's not used in production on Laravel websites.

How can I set the public folder as root folder in cpanel shared hosting? Do you know?

There is no option in cPanel to change public directory in main domain, this option is available only for addon domains.

The only way I know is requiring the initialization file (site.php) from root directory and changing the directories that are on line Flarum\Foundation\Site::fromPaths from site.php. This works similarly with vanilla Laravel as well

https://docs.flarum.org/install.html#customizing-paths can be used for existing websites as well if the folder structure needs to change
