Sometimes on the servers I work on I need to change the “public” directory to “content.” To do this I create my own “Application.php” class, extending Laravel’s Application class and override the publicPath method.

	<?php
	namespace App\Abilities\App;
	class Application extends \Illuminate\Foundation\Application
	{
	public function publicPath()
	{
	return $this->basePath.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'content';
	}
	}

Next, I update bootstrap/app.php and create the $app instance using my Application class.

	<?php
	// Replace Application instance with below
	// Override public directory with custom application instance
	$app = new \App\Abilities\App\Application(
	realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
	);

I don’t use server.php but, if you did, you’d need to update the following lines in your public directory’s index file too:

	<?php
	if ($uri !== '/' && file_exists(__DIR__.'/content'.$uri)) {
	return false;
	}
	require_once __DIR__.'/content/index.php';
