How to remove “public/index.php” from URL generated in Laravel

February 10, 2017Posted inLaravel, PHP
Option 1: Use .htaccess

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.
