Stuck with this for a long time. I found similar questions but none of the answers are working for me! .htaccess in root folder looks like this:

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

    Why don'[ you use the default Laravel htaccess file ?https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/public/.htaccess – Karl Hill May 14 '20 at 21:03
  • @KarlHill I tried the default file but still doesn't work! Do I have to change the htaccess file in the public folder too ? – Anant Mishra May 15 '20 at 19:14

Create a file named as '.htaccess' in root and add the below code. That's it

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php

The example here is in the /public directory. You will also need to configure you're server correctly and have it look only at the /public directory instead of root. You shouldn't need an .htaccess file in the root.

You will need a httpd-vhosts.conf with something like the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName yourapp.com
    ServiceAlias www.yourapp.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/yourapp/public
</VirtualHost>

Notice this line:

DocumentRoot /var/www/yourapp/public

inside of your main .htaccess it should read:

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

replace the existing " RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L] " if something like this exist.

below solution worked for me.

Create .htaccess file in root directory and place code something like below. copy server.php file and paste it in root directory with named as index.php .

put below code in .htacess created file in root directory .

Options -MultiViews 
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php
