Laravel 5 – Remove Public from URL

Question

I know this is a very popular question but I haven\'t been able to find a working solution for Laravel 5. I\'ve been trying to migrate from Codeigniter for a long time, but

Answer 1

Just create .htaccess file at root and add these lines to it

    RewriteEngine On

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

That's it!

The above code works on the root public_html folder. Having said that your core laravel file should be inside the public_html folder, if your directory looks like public_html/laravelapp/public and if you put the above code inside laravelapp it won't work. Therefore you must copy all your core files into public_html and put the .htaccess file there .

If you want to keep the code in a subdirectory then you can create a subdomain then this code will work for that also.
