Bump. Surely I can't be the only person who sees this as a step back?

Apparently you have to override the application class to change the paths.

https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/7108

Here is what I did for now. I put it in the app folder.

http://laravel.io/bin/LkBjO

You also will need to change the bootstrap\app.php

$app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
	realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
);

to 

$app = new App\MyApp(
    [
        'base' => realpath(__DIR__.'/../'),
        'public' => realpath(__DIR__.'/../../public')
    ]
);

Hope that helps.

Yeah, had a feeling I might have to do something like that. Cheers for the code sample. I'm going to have a play on my localhost and see what I can work out.

You can also change the paths in this config file: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/config/view.php
