Laravel 5 Remove Public from URL

Question

I know this is a very popular question but I haven t been able to find a working solution for Laravel 5  I ve been trying to migrate from Codeigniter for a long time  but this convoluted installation process keeps putting me off   I don t want to run a VM  this just seems awkward when switching between projects   I don t want to set my document root to the public folder  this is also awkward when switching between projects   I ve tried the  htaccess mod rewrite method   lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt    RewriteEngine On   RewriteRule        public  1  L   lt  IfModule gt    This just gives me a Laravel NotFoundHttpException in compiled php line 7610   When I tried L4 a while ago  I used the method of moving the contents of the public folder into the root  The structure of L5 is quite different and following the same steps completely broke Laravel  the server would only return a blank page    Is there a decent method of removing  public  in a development environment that    Works with L5 Allows me to switch between projects with ease  I m usually working on 2 or 3 at any one time     Thanks     I m using MAMP and PHP 5 6 2

Problem is if you type  public and it will still be available in the url  therefor i created a fix which should be placed in the public index php     uri   urldecode       parse url   SERVER  REQUEST URI    PHP URL PATH          if stristr  uri    public       TRUE         if file exists   DIR     public   uri          else          actual link    isset   SERVER  HTTPS     amp  amp    SERVER  HTTPS        on     https     http            SERVER  HTTP HOST      SERVER  REQUEST URI             actual link   str replace  public        actual link         header  HTTP 1 0 404 Not Found          header  Location     actual link            exit          return false          this peace of code will remove public from the url and will give a 404 and then redirects to the url without the public

You can remove public keyword from url using various methods   1  If you are using dedicated hosting and you have root access then You can remove public keyword from url using Virtual Host  You should give DocumentRoot path with public  So this will start index from public directory and remove it from url    lt VirtualHost   80 gt      ServerAdmin info example com     ServerName example com     ServerAlias www example com     DocumentRoot  var www html  yoursourcedirectory  public      ErrorLog   APACHE LOG DIR  error log     CustomLog   APACHE LOG DIR  access log combined  lt  VirtualHost gt    2  If you dont have root access of your hosting then you should genarate a new  htaccess file in your root directory and put the code as below   lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt   lt IfModule mod negotiation c gt      Options -MultiViews  lt  IfModule gt   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  lt  IfModule gt    You can get more reference here

For XAMPP user to remove public from url without touching laravel default filesystem is to set a Virtual Host for your application to do this jsut follow these steps   Open the XAMPP control panel application and stop Apache  Be aware that late Windows machines might run it as a service  so check the box to the left of the Apache module  Navigate to C  xampp apache conf extra or wherever your XAMPP files are located  Open the file named httpd-vhosts conf with a text editor  Around line 19 find   NameVirtualHost   80 and uncomment or remove the hash  At the very bottom of the file paste the following code        lt VirtualHost   gt      ServerAdmin admin localhost com     DocumentRoot  C  xampp htdocs    change this line with your htdocs folder     ServerName localhost     ServerAlias localhost      lt Directory  C  xampp htdocs  gt          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI         Order allow deny         Allow from all      lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt     Now you can copy and paste the code above below to add your Virtual Host directories  For example I   m working on a site called Eatery Engine so the following snippet will allow me to work with sub-domains on my local install        lt VirtualHost eateryengine dev gt      ServerAdmin admin localhost com     DocumentRoot  C  xampp htdocs eateryengine    change this line with your htdocs folder     ServerName eateryengine dev     ServerAlias eateryengine dev      lt Directory  C  xampp htdocs eateryengine  gt          Order allow deny         Allow from all      lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt     Next head over to your Windows host file to edit your HOSTS  the file will be located at C  Windows System32 drivers etc hosts  where hosts is the file  Open it with notepad  Look for  localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself    127 0 0 1       localhost  localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself   127 0 0 1       localhost 127 0 0 1       eateryengine dev  change to match your Virtual Host  127 0 0 1       demo eateryengine dev  manually add new sub-domains     Restart Apache and test everything    The original article can be found here

Here is the Best and shortest solution that works for me as of may  2018 for Laravel 5 5   just cut your  htaccess file from the  public directory to the root directory and replace it content with the following code    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt       lt IfModule mod negotiation c gt         Options -MultiViews      lt  IfModule gt       RewriteEngine On      RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d     RewriteRule           1  L R 301       RewriteCond   REQUEST URI      css   js   png   jpg   gif robots  txt    NC      RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f     RewriteRule   server php  L       RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f     RewriteCond   REQUEST URI     public      RewriteRule   css js images        public  1  2  L NC   lt  IfModule gt   Just save the  htaccess file and that is all  Rename your  server php file to index php  that is all enjoy

DON T  YOU REALLY SHOULD NOT rename server php in your Laravel root folder to index php and copy the  htaccess file from the  public directory to your Laravel root folder    This way everyone can access some of your files   env for example   Try it yourself  You don t want that   DO Instead  you should create an  htaccess file in your root like this  RewriteEngine On RewriteCond   REQUEST URI     public  RewriteRule         public  1  L QSA   This will silently rewrite all your base URIs to the  public folder  Even all Headers  for example the HTTP Authorization Header  and all optional URI parameters will silently be passed on to the  public folder as well  That s all Please note when setting up a Laravel project with Docker  you won t need to do any of this

1  I haven t found a working method for moving the public directory in L5   While you can modify some things in the bootstrap index php  it appears several helper functions are based on the assumption of that public directory being there   In all honestly you really shouldn t be moving the public directory   2  If your using MAMP then you should be creating new vhosts for each project  each serving that projects public directory   Once created you access each project by your defined server name like this    http   project1 dev http   project2 dev

BEST Approach  I will not recommend removing public  instead on local computer create a virtual host point to public directory and on remote hosting change public to public html and point your domain to this directory  Reason  your whole laravel code will be secure because its one level down to your public directory      METHOD 1   I just rename server php to index php and it works  METHOD 2   This work well for all laravel version     Here is my Directory Structure    laravel      app     bootstrap     public     etc   Follow these easy steps   move all files from public directory to root  laravel  now  no need of public directory  so optionally you can remove it now now open index php and make following replacements          require DIR      bootstrap autoload php       to       require DIR   bootstrap autoload php       and      app   require once DIR      bootstrap start php       to      app   require once DIR   bootstrap start php      now open bootstrap paths php and change public directory path        public     DIR      public     to      public     DIR          and that s it  now try http    localhost laravel

Just create  htaccess file at root and add these lines to it   lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt      RewriteEngine On      RewriteRule        public  1  L   lt  IfModule gt    That s it   The above code works on the root public html folder  Having said that your core laravel file should be inside the public html folder  if your directory looks like public html laravelapp public and if you put the above code inside laravelapp it won t work  Therefore you must copy all your core files into public html and put the  htaccess file there    If you want to keep the code in a subdirectory then you can create a subdomain then this code will work for that also

Easy way to remove public from laravel 5 url  You just need to cut index php and  htaccess from public directory and paste it in the root directory thats all and replace two lines in index php as  require   DIR     bootstrap autoload php    app   require once   DIR     bootstrap app php     Note  The above method is just for the beginners as they might be facing problem in setting up virtual host and The best solution is to setup virtual host on local machine and point it to the public directory of the project

There is always a reason to have a public folder in the Laravel setup  all public related stuffs should be present inside the public folder       Don t Point your ip address domain to the Laravel s root folder but point it to the public folder  It is unsafe pointing the server Ip to the root folder   because unless you write restrictions in  htaccess  one can easily access the other files      Just write rewrite condition in the  htaccess file and install rewrite module and enable the rewrite module  the problem which adds public in the route will get solved

Even if i do not recommend putting Laravel on the root folder there are some cases when it could not be avoided  for those cases the above methods do not work for assets so i made a quick fix changing the htaccess  after copying server php to index php edit the  htaccess file like so    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt       lt IfModule mod negotiation c gt          Options -MultiViews      lt  IfModule gt       RewriteEngine On          fix file rewrites on root path          select file url     RewriteCond   REQUEST URI              if file exists in  public  lt filename gt      RewriteCond   DOCUMENT ROOT  public  1 -f      redirect to  public  lt filename gt      RewriteRule        public  1  L                             Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder        RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d     RewriteRule           1  L R 301         Handle Front Controller          RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME  -d   comment this rules or the user will read non-public file and folders       RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME  -f       RewriteRule   index php  L   lt  IfModule gt    This was a quick fix i had to make so anyone is welcome to upgrade it

Laravel 5 5  After having installed Laravel for the first time  I faced the renowned  public folder problem  and I came up with this solution that  in my personal opinion  is  cleaner  then the others I found on the Web     Achievements   Don t have public word in the URI Protect the  env file against curious people   Everything can be done just editing the  htaccess using mod rewrite and four simple rules     Steps   Move the  htaccess file in public  htaccess in the main root Edit it as below   I commented everything  so it should be clear  I hope  also to those who have never used mod rewrite  not that I m an expert  all the opposite   Also  to understand the rules  it must be clear that  in Laravel  if Bill connects to https   example com  https   example com index php is loaded  This file just contains the command header  refresh  5  https   example com public     which sends the request to https   example com public index php  This second index php is responsible to load the controller and other stuff     IfModule prevents the server error if the app is moved in an environment which doesn   t support mod rewrite  lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt       lt IfModule mod negotiation c gt          Options -MultiViews      lt  IfModule gt       RewriteEngine On        RULES ORIGINALLY IN public  htaccess ---       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         Handle Authorization Header     RewriteCond   HTTP Authorization        RewriteRule    -  E HTTP AUTHORIZATION   HTTP Authorization         --- END        PERSONAL RULES ---       All the requests on port 80 are redirected on HTTPS     RewriteCond   SERVER PORT   80      RewriteRule    https     SERVER NAME   REQUEST URI   R L         When  env file is requested  server redirects to 404     RewriteRule    env  -  R 404 L NC         If the REQUEST URI is empty  means  http   example com   it loads  public index php       N B   REQUEST URI is  never  actually empty  it contains a slash that must be set as match as below          means  anything can go here at least 0 times    accepts any sequence of characters  including an empty string      RewriteCond   REQUEST URI          RewriteRule        public index php  L         If the current request is asking for a REQUEST FILENAME that        a      existent directory       b      existent file         gt  if URI     css  js  images whatever   gt  server loads  public index php  which is responsible to load the app and the related controller     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f     RewriteRule    css js images media         public index php  L NC         If the current request is asking for a REQUEST FILENAME that        a      existent directory       b      existent file         gt  if URI    css  js  images   1  whatever   2    gt  server loads the resource at public  1  2       If R flag is added  the server not only loads the resource at public  1  2 but redirects to it       e g   bamboo jpg resides in example com public media bamboo jpg             Client asks for example com media bamboo jpg             Without R flag  the URI remains example com media bamboo jpg and loads the image             With R flag  the server redirects the client to example com public media bamboo jpg and loads the image     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f     RewriteRule   css js images media         public  1  2  L NC        --- END   lt  IfModule gt    The following rule  originally in public  htaccess  can be deleted  The same rule  in fact  is explicited in a more detailed way in the last two rules     Handle Front Controller         RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d      RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f      RewriteRule   index php  L      EDIT  I missed Abhinav Saraswat s solution and his answer should be the accepted one  Just one  simple and clear rule that redirects all the traffic to the public folder without modifying any file
