Uploaded laravel website, everything uploaded to the "public" folder?

Hi Everyone

I built a website using laravel 4. I uploaded my website to the internet for the first time but the upload didn't go as planned. Everything in my website uploaded to the "public" folder you see if the image below.

If I were to click on the "public" folder my website works nicely within that folder but I don't want my website within the "public" folder. My question is, how would I fix this? Thanks

The best answer depends on the specifics of your hosting, but assuming you use shared hosting there are a several methods here: http://driesvints.com/blog/laravel-4-on-a-shared-host

I usually symlink the public_html folder to the application's public folder and find it works well.
With subdomains the cPanel interface allows you to specify the a folder directly so it's only the main domain that will require special attention. Hope that helps!
