Is there any way to remove this public from the URL?

Question

I am using laragon server for php 7.2 laravel. I have tried a lot to remove public keyword from my url http://localhost/myLaravel/public/ by its normal method of copying .htaccess folder in my laravel project directory as well as by copying and renaming server file to index.php. But it didn't work. whenever i write this url: http://localhost/myLaravel/ it give me following error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /myLaravel/ on this server.

Any solution?

Answer 1

You can use this htaccess code in laravel root directory.

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

Answer 2

Laravel app is not meant to be accessible in a subdirectory by default. You can do one of the following:

• point your domain to the myLaravel/public directory, if you want a dedicated domain or subdomain
• move the public directory to the root of your Laravel app, as described here: How to make public folder as root in Laravel?
