I am starting to dabble in CodeIgniter 4. Completed a simple app. On local, I have the documentroot setup to be /public/ where as on the product hosting environment, I am unable to set the documentroot to be in /public/.
Instead it is in /root.
So the structure is like so:
/root ../admin ../app ../system ../public ../.htaccess ../index.php
I’ve moved the htaccess from the public folder to the root level.

when going to http://sub.domain.com, i am getting the default controller and view rendering. However the CSS assets and JS assets that are linked: https://sub.domain.com/assets/css/style.bundle.css
are all going to a server error. the location of these files are actually in https://sub.domain.com/public/assets/css/style.bundle.css
but I am trying to avoid using /public/ in the url.
Any help or direction is appreciated.

Answer
Ideally, you should have all your folders at the same level as root. This is assuming that /root is the publically accessible directory.
In other words,
/admin /app /root .htaccess favicon.ico index.php robots.txt /assets /system /vendor /writable
Note that there is no directory named “public”. Actually it’s used to be called public, but it has been renamed “root”. There is no requirement that it be named public, only that it is the directory your domain name points to.
You should be able to use all files as-distributed except for setting some things in appconfig
