title: Deploying a Laravel 5 project in subdirectory of public root
body: <p>I'd like to deploy a Laravel 5 app to a subdirectory of my web server root (public root being <code>/public_html</code> in this case as we're using Apache). The web server already has a non-Laravel site in the root public folder.</p>
  
  <p>Most questions on this topic come down to using a subdomain instead of a subdirectory, however as we're using an organisational SSL cert without subdomain coverage we cannot do this.</p>
  
  <p>I realise we could still plop the non-public resources above <code>public_html</code>, the public resources in a subdirectory and then hack at the paths required, but I haven't found any concrete instructions for how to achieve this. Is there a standard approach for this use case?</p>
