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
Create A .htaccess file in your root DIR and paste the below code. That's it :P
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php
