[1] Delete the file called "Server.php" in the Laravel Project directory
[2] Copy your laravel 8 project to your web server "Public_html" directory
[3] Simply copy all files in the "Public_html" folder of your
Laravel 8 Project and paste in the server web home directory
which is the servers own 'Public_html' folder which is also where
Laravel project files are.
[4] Then update the index.php file by changing the directory levels
e.g. change '/../storage/framework/maintenance.php' to
'/storage/framework/maintenance.php' by removing the '../' in the directory syntax.
Thats all! just refresh your browser and your app will be running fine.
