Laravel $app in index.php is bool value

My main goal is to transfer laravel from my localhost to online shared hosting.

What i did till now:

• copy all public files to public_html/website/my-api
• copy all laravel system files to public_html/laravel
• checked rights
• corrected my-api/index.php require and require_once to a laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php

But error i am getting is

Fatal error: Call to a member function make() on boolean in /usr/www/users/baller/public_html/my-api/index.php on line 54
