I am Deploying an App Service in azure with Laravel 8 and PHP 8 but i am unable to remove /public from URL.

Generally we solve this problem with

1. Directing Domain to public folder and .htaccess/web.config file in public folder

2. placing an htaccess/web.config file in root

but here it is not working.

I am answering this question for future users as i spent apprx 7-8 hours in fixing it.

I took help from schaako.de , cristopher and azureossd and writing it here.

Open SSH

Navigate to your App Service via the Azure Portal. Under the Development Tools section, select SSH .

Default site config

copy of the existing configuration and place the file inside the /home/site directory using this commands

cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /home/site/default

Now edit the /home/site/default file and update as described in laravel documentation Server Configuration settings

location / {
    index  index.php index.html index.htm hostingstart.html;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

custom startup script

You will now need to create a custom startup script and save the file as /home/site/startupscriptbymoon.sh

Add following commands in above file

cp /home/site/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
service nginx reload

Startup Command and Test

Now navigate back to your App Service via the Azure Portal. Under the Settings section, select Configuration and then General Settings.

In Startup Command text box enter the following:

/home/site/startupscriptbymoon.sh

navigate back to your application and reload. enjoy!

I went through the same struggle and blogged my findings at my blog https://www.azurephp.dev/2021/09/php-8-on-azure-app-service/.

The move to Linux only containers and from Apache to Nginx added a whole series of troubles which I reported in my article. Check it out for more details.
