Answer 1

You need to point Laravel to public directory to make it work. For example, if you've installed Laravel in C:/xampp/htdocs/ directory, you need to use these settings:

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

Do not edit .htacces inside public folder. Try to change settings and load Laravel website by going to localhost first.

When you've edited Apache config file, you should restart web server.
