CI 4.1.1 not loading on Dremhost

I am having problems getting CI4.1.1 to load on Dream Host
I copied the public content into the public folder on Dream Host "/mysite.com", and the Application content into a folder I created One directory up "/app_code".
The index.php file is different in 4.1.1 than what is the tutorials 

PHP Code:

require realpath(FCPATH . '../app/Config/Paths.php') ?: FCPATH . '../app/Config/Paths.php';

I changed it  


PHP Code:

require realpath(FCPATH . '..app_code/app/Config/Paths.php') ?: FCPATH . '..app_code/app/Config/Paths.php';

In the error log it looks like the path is being appended to and not going up one directory 

/home/xx_xxxxx/mysite.com/../app_code/app/Config/Paths.php

it shouldn't it be

/home/xx_xxxx/app_code/app/Config/Paths 


I faced the same kinda issue installing lil' the older version which was fixed by giving proper permission to those folders.
