Install Laravel in legacy project - php

I am trying to install Laravel in an old project.
I tried to place my existing project files from /www folder into /public folder.
Now I am facing some issues.
1) I tried to rename the Laravel's index.php to laravel.php and same in .htaccess but it did not work. I am doing this to avoid the conflict with my index.php
2) My project has following /www/.htaccess file and uses routing using mod_rewrite_delegator.php file. I have not idea how to handle this part.
If I user myproject.com/events this does not work but myproject.com/events/dashboard.php works. So I need Laravel to find the route from my old project first and then under Laravel routing.
Here are my existing .htaccess code
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
# quick links
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/user_files/
RewriteRule ^([^\.\?]+)$ /mod_rewrite_delegator.php?keyword=$1 [QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /http_404.php
Thank you

deploying laravel 7 project to hostinger

We have registered account for hostinger and uploaded the Laravel 7 projects into the server and followed the steps from the following URL. But our projects are under the domains folder and as follows in the below picture
When accessing the URL, the default route is working but the other pages are not working and show error as the page is lost. Please suggest to us the right way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
It is probably due to rewrites rules are not enabled.
Is there any .htaccess in your public folder ? Maybe try to add the correct laravel 7 .htaccess with the needed rewrites rules.
public_html/.htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Can't access Laravel /public anymore. Laravel handles it as a route.

In DirectAdmin, I have changed the domainname of my project. But unfortunately it did not gave me the result I was looking for. So I undid my action. But, that did not solve the problem.
At first, I was able to access my site.com/public folder to use the assets for my website. But after my failure Laravel handles the /public directory as a route. So, I dan't have access anymore to my public folder and needed assets.
My domain: good2beout.nl
Can anyone help me?
P.s. I already looked at question Laravel 4 - public directory being treated as a route - image not showing but this does not solve my problem.
I have found my problem.
I accidentally overwrote my .htaccess file, replaced it with
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Laravel called from ROOT outsite the /public folder. Getting NotFoundHttpException

I've searched through Web to solve my problem but non of the solutions works for me there, so after couple of hours of struggling with Routing module I've decided to ask you for a helping hand.
Problem
I am unable to access Laravel application from outside /public directory. I need to type localhost\projects\laravel\public in my browser but what I want is to use the URL withour /public. The main reason is because I use shared hosting and have no access to apache configuration file so I'm unable to create vhost.
Background
I've installed manually Laravel framework under the: **c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel** and used composer to do the rest for me.
The routing has been set to: Route::get('/', 'HomeController#showWelcome');
In my project root directory **c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel** I've put a .htacces file with the following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /projects/laravel/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
In my Application Root dir c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel\public I have .htaccess with the following code in it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
When I type: localhost\projects\laravel\ I've got NotFoundHttpException
When I type: localhost\projects\laravel\public I've got welcome page
Any help would be appreciate, Thanks.
Finally I've got this thing working. There are two solutions that can be made.
One requires to move all -public content level-up
Second requires slightly changes in your shared hosting directory root structure - if allowed
Solution #1
The first that works for me that I didn't want to implement has been posted by #Wasim in this thread: Laravel 4 removing public from URL The solution is not save as the content core structure is in the same directory as application itself. This could cause some problems in future implementation.
You need to move all the content from public/ folder one level-up into project ROOT directory then replace internal paths in index.php file for correct onece. For security reasons this .htaccess file needs to be put into project ROOT directory
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Modified Laravel structure described above can be uploaded to your shared web hosting and the application should runs withour /public in yor http address.
Solution 2 (with no access to http.conf file on your shared hosting)
This solution does not requires form you to move the content of the /public folder one level-up but requires form you to have read and write access to ../ROOT directory in your shared hosting (../ROOT directory mostly contains public_html, public_ftp and other folders).
You need to move Laravel scructure into ../ROOT directory as follows:
app/
bootstrap/
vendors/
public_html/
public_ftp/
(...)
Files form /public folder goes to public_html
public_html/index.php
public_hmtl/.htaccess
public_html/packages/
(...)
Then modification for /bootstrap/paths.php is required for line with 'public' key:
'public' => DIR.'/../public' to 'public' => DIR.'/../public_html'
If someone has similar issue and this solution does not work please let me know, thanks.
If you want without public on uri, using composer from your laravel root. Use command php artisan serve and browse localhost:8000 from your browser. It will bring you to homepage.
Where did you get this line from?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
It's not part of Laravel. Try removing it or the whole .htaccess file in your Laravel root.

routing index.php with htaccess

I am running wamp on win7 just in case. I am trying to route all requests through a route.php to get clean URLs. Below is my htaccess
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(auth|folder2) [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) ./route.php?path=$1 [L]
As you can see the rule should apply to all files, and it did when I ran it on my old wamp installation. Now after copying the files to a new system, for some reason, the rule seems to work for all links except index.php. So if I try http://localhost/proj, I get no routing in the new system. Any ideas?
And before anyone asks, yes rewrite_module is on, and the htaccess is being read and executed cause it works for all other links like http://localhost/proj/users and also because if I try putting garbage values in the htaccess it throws a nice 'internal server error'.
I'm guessing you have an index.php in that folder, and this condition:
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
...tells apache to perform the rewrite only if the file does not exist.
I would suggest or renaming the file, as you'll need that condition to route static assets like images, scripts, etc.
If there is no index.php (or index.htm[l]) in that folder, just define route.php as the default file in that directory. In your .htaccess:
DirectoryIndex route.php index.php index.html index.htm
(Be aware that this will also apply to any sub-directories as well)

Apache rewrite for Laravel /public

I am sorry about this, but my htdocs root is wrong and I can't change that. So I have to make it work in the /public folder.
I use the normal Laravel .htaccess file with the following rewrite:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
If I open http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public I get redirected to http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public/http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public/login
How can I fix this?
I would love to make it work from http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/ but getting it to work with http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public/ would be fine.
I use the 3 solution of this post and works fine:

Solution 1 - Alternate installation path with symlink.
This is the preferred solution and in general an all-around good idea. It's possible to install your application to a folder unrelated to public_html/ and then symlink the public folder to the public_html/ path.
For example:
Install your application to /home/applications/mysite.com
Imagine that your DocumentRoot points to /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs
Remove the httpdocs folder from the mysite.com vhosts folder then connect the two with a symlink: ln -s /home/applications/mysite.com/public /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs
Solution 2 - .htaccess with mod_rewrite
This solution enables you to drop Laravel into your public folder then use a .htaccess file to redirect requests to the public folder. This solution places your application and core system code into a publicly accessible folder. This is not something that we encourage you to do with any PHP framework.
Step 1. Place Laravel in your document root folder.
Step 2. Place the following .htaccess file in your document root folder.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Step 3. Make sure that you manually set your 'url' configuration in application/config/application.php otherwise Laravel will generate incorrect URLs. Make sure that each of your environments have the correct application.url configuration. For more information on environment-specific configurations see: http://laravel.com/docs/install#environments
Solution 3 - merge the public folder into the installation root
This solution places your application and core system code into a publicly accessible folder. This is not something that we encourage you to do with any PHP framework.
Copy the contents of the public/ folder into your Laravel installation folder then change this line in your index.php file from:
require '../paths.php';
to
require 'paths.php';
Keep in mind that any bundles, libraries, or other types of third-party code may not be designed to be publicly accessible.
Note: It's also important to note that your bundles/ and public/bundles/ directories will now conflict. When using this approach you may want to not use artisan's bundle:publish task without knowing exactly what your bundles want to publish.
I solved it partly. If I have a .htaccess in the root instead of /public with
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/index.php/$1 [L]
I can open http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/login but the images and css is still wrong. I need to check first if the files exist in /public. I think this is a new question.
