I was browsing the issues on Laravel repo and came across one complaining about issues that arise from serving Laravel out of a subdirectory. Turns out there aremultiple such reports and the official answer is just that it’s not supported.

In fact there are no problems with serving it from a subdirectory as long as you take some care to set up the server and Laravel properly.

Don’t put Laravel in an actual subfolder, serve from example.com/subdirectory/public and expect Laravel to treat that as a base. You should instead redirect example.com/subdirectory to your Laravel app, provide Laravel with the full URI (including /subdirectory) and configure it to handle requests that start with that prefix.
