Answer 1

I tried this on Laravel 4.2

Rename the server.php in the your Laravel root folder to index.php and copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root folder.

I hope it works

Hope this helps like it did for me.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 3

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(public)/(index.php)/$ $1/$4 [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 4

For Laravel 4 & 5:

1. Rename server.php in your Laravel root folder to index.php
2. Copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root folder.

Thats it !! :)

Answer 5

1) Check whether mod_rewrite is enabled. Go to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory and see whether the rewrite.load is available. If not, enable it using the command sudo a2enmod rewrite.It will enable the rewrite module. If its already enabled, it will show the message Module rewrite already enabled.
2)Create a virtual host for public directory so that instead of giving http://localhost/public/index.php we will be able to use like that http://example.com/index.php. [hence public folder name will be hidded]
3)Then create a .htaccess which will hide the index.php from your url which shoul be inside the root directory (public folder)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

Answer 6

 RewriteEngine on

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

use this in .htaccess and restart the server
