I've been struggling with this problem too but i've found a simple solution that only requires you to create another .htaccess at the root of your application.

The .htaccess itself should contain this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^{yoursite}.{extension} [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.{yoursite}.{extension}/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !public/
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L]

The complete system keeps working but it redirects to the /public folder.

This is how I solved the problem for myself.

Hope it helps!

Cheers.
