Once Server is ready, we need to point the domain to {project_directory}/public. For instance, Suppose the project_directory is /var/www/html. Then the domain should be pointed to /var/www/html/public

FYI : The public directory contains the index.php file, which is the entry point for all requests entering our application and configures autoloading.
