Laravel 4 removing public from URL

Question

So, I\'m running xampp on Windows. I\'m currently trying to get familiar with the laravel framework. Now, when thats pointed out. How can i be able to access my laravel appl

Answer 1

Add following code to htaccess file. It may helps you.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

just in simple step i did in laravel 5 make .htaccess like this in laravel folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

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

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

then rename your server.php to index.php

that it it will work

or if you just doing local development

run this comman php artisan serve

it will start local server at localhost:8000 (port may vary)

Answer 4

Go to project folder using cmd and type "php artisan serve". Now navigate to: localhost:8000

Answer 5

This has been asked before many times. I had the same problem. I solved it by using vhosts and .htaccess files. I wanted to write about solution on both XAMPP on Windows and LAMP installation on Ubuntu. My configuration on windows: My aim was to reach my application by entering the uri below

http://localhost/subdir

c:\xampp\htdocs\subdir\ # this was laravel root directory
c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf # this virtual hosts file

I used original .htaccess file from Laravel website (and remember .htaccess file must be in public directory) but I just added one line which is

RewriteBase /subdir (just below RewriteEngine On)

In addition, in httpd-vhosts file you should add your subdirectory alias like that:

Alias /subdir
"C:/xampp/htdocs/subdir/public"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/subdir/public">
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Options All
  AllowOverride All
  Require all granted
</Directory>

Hope everything is clear with my explanation. This answer can be applied on unix based systems easily.

Answer 6

You need to do following things:

1. first copy all the contents of the public directory in your root directory i.e. bring the contents of public folder 1 step up.

2. modify the contents of index.php

From =>

require __DIR__ . "/../bootstrap/autoload";
$app = require_once __DIR__ . "/../boostrap/start.php"

To =>

 "require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';"
"$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';

and also contents of bootstrap/paths.php

From => 'public' => __DIR__.'/../../',

To => 'public' => __DIR__.'/..',

3.Then finally create .htaccess file in your root directory and write this.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
