If it isn't already there, create an .htaccess file in the Laravel root directory.
Create a .htaccess
file your Laravel root directory if it does not exists already. (Normally it is under your public_html
folder)
Edit the .htaccess file so that it contains the following code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Now you should be able to access the website without the "/public/index.php/" part.
Make a new folder in your root directory and move all the files and folder except public folder. You can call it anything you want. I'll use "laravel_code".
Next, move everything out of the public directory and into the root folder. It should result in something somewhat similar to this:
After that, all we have to do is edit the locations in the laravel_code/bootstrap/paths.php
file and the index.php
file.
In laravel_code/bootstrap/paths.php
find the following line of code:
'app' => __DIR__.'/../app',
'public' => __DIR__.'/../public',
And change them to:
'app' => __DIR__.'/../app',
'public' => __DIR__.'/../../',
In index.php
, find these lines:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
And change them to:
require __DIR__.'/laravel_code/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/laravel_code/bootstrap/start.php';
