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 application/website direct within the root?
Example,
Any good solutions for this? do i need to add a .htacess file on the root folder of laravel? (not the public one).
Any suggestions?
Easiest way is create .htaccess file in your Laravel root with following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
It should be redirected easily.
Reference: https://coderwall.com/p/erbaig/laravel-s-htaccess-to-remove-public-from-url
Here's how I did it.
Windows can be a real PITA when trying to edit the Hosts file because of the User Account Control. Since I work on all kinds of small hobby projects, I have to edit this file all the time so this is what I do.
At the bottom of the file, add this:
127.0.0.1 laravel.dev
This tells Windows to point the web browser to localhost whenever you enter laravel.dev in the browser's address bar.
At the bottom of the file, add this: (I am assuming xampp is installed at the root of the D: drive)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName laravel.dev
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public"
<Directory "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public">
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Add an htaccess file to your laravel/public folder (if its not already there). I think the default htaccess file that comes with L4 looks like this:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
http://laravel.devhttp://laravel.dev/aboutMove the contents of the /public folder down a level.
You'll need to update the include lines in index.php to point to the correct location. (if it's down a level, remove the '../').
BEST Approch: I will not recommend removing public, instead on local computer create a virtual host point to public directory and on remote hosting change public to public_html and point your domain to this directory. Reason, your whole laravel code will be secure because its one level down to your public directory :)
METHOD 1: I just rename server.php to index.php and it works
METHOD 2:
Here is my Directory Structure,
/laravel/
... app
... bootstrap
... public
... etc
Follow these easy steps
require DIR.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to
require DIR.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
and
$app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to
$app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/start.php';
'public' => DIR.'/../public',
to
'public' => DIR.'/..',
and that's it, now try http:// localhost/laravel/
Set you document root for apache to the public folder, and not the laravel folder. This is the simplest technique and recommended for production environments.
I'm using L5, This works for me fine:
-- Thatz it!!!
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/$1 [L]
The complete system keeps working but it redirects to the /public folder.
This is how I solved the problem for myself.
Hope it helps!
Cheers.
Add following code to htaccess file. It may helps you.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Add following code in your .htaccess (if not exist create a .htaccess on laravel root directory)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Source : http://tutsnare.com/remove-public-from-url-laravel/
at Source you also get another method to do same.
Update : Preferred way to do it is make change in directory structure which explain in source URL.
just in simple step i did in laravel 5 make .htaccess like this in laravel folder
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$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)
You can use symlinks or edit the httpd.conf file.
Check my answer to another similar question. I hope that it helps.
If you don't wish to go through the stress of configuring .htaccess file, you could use PHP Built-in Server by doing this:
laravel\publicphp -S localhost:8000After you can access your website by going to:
http:://localhost:8000
works without appending public
See the official manual to learn more: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
Go to project folder using cmd and type "php artisan serve". Now navigate to: localhost:8000
I have found geart flow to work with laravel localy.
What you can do is to configure xampp a bit. At your xamp's httpd.conf file you have to find document DocumentRoot and <Directory>. Change root directory to yours laravel public folder and restart apache. Since when you can access your project simplly just typing localhost. Now if you want you can change your host file and rewrite local dns, for example: 127.0.0.1 example.laravel.com and now you can access your project with real url. It may look bit complicated, but it's not.
Alternative to that would be php artisan serve. You can start server on different ports and when re-write hosts file.
You could add some features to improve your workflow even more, for example vagrant or ngrok. You can share your project for live presentation (speed may be issue here).
Need to remove public segment in the larvel4 app
Laravel 4 requires you to put your app code one level higher than the web root, and this causes problems for some developers that are stuck on shared hosting and that doesn’t allow a setup like this. It’s actually really easy to get around it. I read that some L4 specific packages could have problems on a setup like this, but I didn’t experience anything like that with any package yet.
So first install L4 somewhere you like. I liked the article Niall wrote on keeping the base L4 app up to date, so go and check that out: Installing and Updating Laravel 4
I find it’s enough for this example to simply clone the repo (assuming you have composer installed globally, if not, go to http://getcomposer.org/):
git clone -b develop git://github.com/laravel/laravel.git app_name
php composer install
Note that we are cloning the develop branch since L4 is still in beta at this time.
So to remove the “public” part from your URL, simply move all files and folders from public to your app root and you’ll end up with a folder structure like this:
/app
/bootstrap
/packages (copied from /public)
/vendor
.htaccess (copied from /public)
artisan
composer.json
favicon.ico (copied from /public)
index.php (copied from /public)
robots.txt (copied from /public)
server.php
Now we need to edit our paths in index.php:
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
And then just set the public dir in out /bootstrap/paths.php file:
'public' => __DIR__.'/..',
this is my suggession
You need to do following things:
first copy all the contents of the public directory in your root directory i.e. bring the contents of public folder 1 step up.
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>
Simple Steps To follow:
server.php (In Root directory) to index.php.htaccess file from public directory to root directoryrename the server.php to index.php and copy .htaccess from /public is the right way.
If you send your app online,just change DocumentRoot to the path of public.
if you remove public from url first of all move index.php and .htaccess file from public folder to root of the laravel and change in index.php file
require DIR.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php'; $app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to
require DIR.'/bootstrap/autoload.php'; $app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/start.php';
and run the program
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.
