Laravel remove public from url [duplicate]

Question

This is my folder structure for Laravel 5.2

-laravel --app --bootstrap --config ...

Under the laravel folder that is root of Laravel, I added an .htaccess file with following code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

Now when I open project in browser I get the error:

Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found. "NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:"

I am using XAMPP. Why I am getting this error? How can I remove public from the URL using this method?

You need to point your web server to a public directory instead of project root directory. Use original .htaccess and these Apache settings:

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/public" <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/public">

Restart Apache to make it work.

The best way is to create a virtual host in xampp and set its DocumentRoot to laravel public folder. Here is a nice tutorial on how to create vhosts in xampp

create a folder and name as you want, move all the files inside that folder except public, move the content of public folder to root. After you must edit index.php and change [newFolder] by your news folders name

require __DIR__.'/[newFolder]/bootstrap/autoload.php'; $app = require_once __DIR__.'/[newFolder]/bootstrap/app.php';

I followed this, but no success. Is there anything else which may be stopping this method. I have tested this in a another machine but its not working in my machine. I have tried it several times but no success. I am not able to understand whats happening.
with that method you can remove the public URI, so just get your .htaccess file as default and try what I said :) @Mukesh

•Go to mainproject/public>>

a. .htacess b. favicon.ico c. index.php d. robots.txt e. web.config

1.cut these 5 files from public folder,and then paste on the main project folder that’s means out side of public folder… mainproject/files

2.Next after paste ,open index.php ,modify

•require __DIR__.'/…/bootstrap/autoload.php'; to •require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php'; modify $app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/app.php'; to $app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/app.php';

Change your httpd.conf file from

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

to

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/{projectname}/public" <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/{projectname}/public">

restart apache. then you can now access your project in url localhost/
