Clarification

So for clarification if your laravel application is installed at /public_html/laravel you will look inside /public_html/laravel/public and delete the .htaccess file there. Then inside the /public_html/laravel directory make a new file called .htaccess

Copy the code below to a new .htaccess file in the doc root

    
        Options -MultiViews
    

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /public/$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ public/index.php [L]

Please note

As Concordus Applications noted in their answer here make sure that the Loadmodule mod_rewrite is uncommented (make sure there is not a # symbol behind it in your apache config file)

Concordus Applications also noted that you should have AllowOverride set to the appropriate setting. The example they gave was the following.

    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
 

Please make sure to restart your apache server if you made any changes to your apache config file.
