Laravel remove public from url and force https in .htaccess

Question

How can I remove /public/ from url and auto force http to https?

my root .htaccess (I created it)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
    RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

public/.htaccess (by default laravel)

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

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

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

But it not works - no auto http to https redirect.

So I neet to combine removing public folder from url and forcing http to https using .htaccess

Let's try to fix one problem after the other - where do you generate your URLs? Does your VHost configuration point to the root folder of your application, or to your public folder? — Nico Haase, Oct 26 '20 at 11:48

I think you need to enable rewrite_url with

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

and

restart your apache server

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Your site-enabled/000-default.conf

 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yourapp/public

May be you can use

RewriteBase "yourapp/public/"

or refer this answer.

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

rewrite in installed – Teretto Sep 19 '19 at 09:59
@Teretto document root is also set? or you may need to use rewrite base in htaccess. – Prafulla Kumar Sahu Sep 19 '19 at 10:00
I can't modify 000-default.conf in my hosting – Teretto Sep 19 '19 at 10:01
@Teretto can you set RewriteBase in your htaccess, that may do the job. – Prafulla Kumar Sahu Sep 19 '19 at 10:03
@Teretto using this is effecting SSL configuration? – Prafulla Kumar Sahu Sep 19 '19 at 10:21
no auto redirect on hosting and local host too (in local I use https://laragon.org/) – Teretto Sep 19 '19 at 10:27

The problem you're having is that you've set your document root to be the root of the project. In your apache virtual host config you need to set the document root to be the public directory.

For example:

DocumentRoot /var/www/yourproject/public

That way, public doesn't appear in the URL.

If you're using shared hosting you'll want to move the root of your project to above public_html/, delete public_html, then rename your public directory to public_html. You can then go and modify the bootstrap files to use this path. You could also symlink it.

my hosting do not allow to change apache/nginx settings. and I can't remove any default folders. I can use only htaccess – Teretto Sep 19 '19 at 09:59

Add this two line into your Public Folder htaccess file

 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
 RewriteRule .* https://yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Full Code of your public/.htaccess

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

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

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

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule .* https://yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
</IfModule>

Put this code in .htaccess file of root directory of domain for removing 'public :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 [L,QSA]

And for redirecting to https from http add following lines at the top in .htaccess file located in public directory of laravel project.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} your_domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.your_domain.com/$1 [R,L]

Laravel remove public from url and force https in .htaccess
