Many many many topics about this, but I have to say that none are helping me a great deal.
I have a website with Laravel and Bootstrap uploaded to my root folder of 1&1. My root directory looks like this :
- app
- bootstrap
- logs
- public
- List item
- vendor
- artisan
- composer.json
- composer.lock
- CONTRIBUTING.mu
- readme.md
- composer.phar
- info.php
- server.php
- phpunit.xml
With the public directory being the way to access the views, I am pointing my browser to domain.co.uk/public, and that works absolutely fine!!! The home page loads, and there appears to be no problems.
I then click a link, and of course it goes pear shaped, I get the 1&1 “This domain has just been registered” which I assume is the 404. From doing some research, I can see that .htaccess in the /public directory could be the issue, but I haven’t changed anything just in case.
I am sorry if this is a rather isolated incident, although I see lots of people having trouble with 1&1, the main issue being they have no live chat feature which is rediculous in this day and age.
Many thanks in advance!!!!!

Answer
After a few HOURS of searching, coding, and all that crap… I found it.
My basic package with 1&1 only allows me to use one directory, so instead of using /public I transferred everything from /public to /, then changed the paths in /bootstrap/paths.php and /index.php.
Upon contacting 1&1, they of course advised me to upgrade the package, well guess what 1&1, I have done it without paying more, and have a fully functional remote server for 99p a month. Quality.
Thanks anyway stackers!!!
