Laravel 5 .htaccess url public remove not working

Question

I am using laravel 5 with default directory structure. For removing public folder from url I am using following code in .htaccess

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

I am using xampp and my path is like this http://localhost/pro/laravel5/public

so my project is in htdocs/pro/laravel5/ here I have kept above .htaccess else everything is default

when I try to access my project I get following error.

NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 145:

Hey any way you have to copy .htaccess and index file to your root path then in your htaccess file use public

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

then your index.php thtz all :)

require __DIR__.'/laravel5/bootstrap/autoload.php'; and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/laravel5/bootstrap/app.php';

All you have to do is

Rename the server.php in the your Laravel Project Root folder to index.php

Copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root folder.

And that's it now your project will be live in your browser like pro/laravel5/

trying this option css path is not proper using asset function. – Jay Jul 28 '16 at 08:33
css path will work, you have to link it correctly. Put all your assets in Public folder and then link it via {{asset('yourCss.css')}} – Iftikhar uddin Jul 28 '16 at 08:46
hey Iftikhar uddin, sorry you get down vote but I didn't do it. I am using asset function only but it is not taking proper path. – Jay Jul 28 '16 at 10:54
@user2293790 no i am not saying to you. Can you share the code with us so that i can get idea what is wrong there ? – Iftikhar uddin Jul 28 '16 at 11:16
@user2293790 i will suggest you to use virtual hosts which is the best option laravel have. Here is it take a look ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37879645/how-to-set-mydomain-com-locally-in-laravel/37879807#37879807 ) – Iftikhar uddin Jul 28 '16 at 11:17
