.ENV file is visible

Question

I am using Laravel 5.1

I recently uploaded my project in shared hosting. but when i browse http://siteAddress.com/local/.env my .env file is visible.

Is there any way to hide this file or redirect people if they want browse the site with folder view?

Answer 1

Finally I hide .env and disable index view of the folder named local. I create a .htaccess in folder local.

And here is the code of .htaccess

# Disable index view
Options -Indexes

# Hide a specific file
<Files .env>
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
