laravel 5.4 removing public form url not working properly - php

Question

I have renamed server.php file to index.php and added .htaccess code as follows
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
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}]
</IfModule>
url is working fine now, it is working without url, but
asset()
public_path()
function are not working properly.
css, js , images are not called properly.
{{ asset('assets/css/custom.css') }}
Above code to all custom.css is not working, it was working properly before.
If I add public than it work properly, but that is not correct way.
{{ asset('public/assets/css/custom.css') }}
Let me know how can I add public globally to these function.
I also tried to remove url using this reference but it doesn't work.
How can I remove “public/index.php” in the url generated laravel?

I do three things to solve this.
I put this htaccess file in my project root folder
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
And this .htaccess configuration in my public folder, that is, project-folder/public
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
then define my virtual host configuration as
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/projectfolder/public"
<Directory "/path/projectfolder/public">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This solves the problem for me
