Laravel - route 404 not found - how fix it?

Question

I am creating a mobile application(flutter) that works with api on Laravel. The api should work but there are problems. I'm trying to figure it out, although I don't have previous experience with Laravel (I have experience with PHP). so on server Cpanel. when i try to call the api i get an error

 404 Not Found

body:

 The requested URL was not found on this server.
 Additionally, a 404 Not Found
 error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

This is a fairly common problem, the points I checked are the following points.

1. the api is in the public_html folder, some folders inside:

   app
   
   routes
   
   bootstrap
   

2. checked file public_html/.htaccess

    # php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
    # Set the “ea-php74” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
    <IfModule mime_module>
      AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php74 .php .php7 .phtml
    </IfModule>
    # php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
   

I changed it to:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
    Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
 </IfModule>

4. executed the following commands

    php artisan route:clear
   
    php artisan route:cache
   

after that i execute the command

    php artisan route:list

result:

I try the following options for the url:

  https://appdomain.com/api/v1/login
  https://appdomain.com/api/v1/Check-login
  https://appdomain.com/api/v1/user-login  
  https://appdomain.com/api/login
  https://appdomain.com/api/Check-login
  https://appdomain.com/api/user-login
  https://appdomain.com/login
  https://appdomain.com/Check-login
  https://appdomain.com/user-login  

but each of these urls return a 404 error.

5. Laravel - version 5.5.50

6. part of api.php

   Route::group(['prefix' => 'v1'], function () {
      Route::post('/user-login',['as' => 'login','uses' => 
     'api\v1\UserController@user_login']);
   }); 
   

7. when I added file public_htm/index.php - any request to api returns that file

Which url is correct?
What else can I check? How can this be fixed?

Any advice - I will be very grateful.

Answer 1

Method 1:

Change Document Root to public_html/public and upload the source code to public_html.

Method 2:

Upload the source code except public folder to the parent folder of public_html folder. And upload the files in public folder to public_html folder.

Add the following code to public_html/index.php:

$app->bind('path.public', function() {
    return __DIR__;
});
