I have a Laravel 5.3 website, but now that I want to put it online on my server, I realize that I can't change the vhosts to make it work properly.
How can I make my website work, without vhost? I now that Zend Framework can run just fine using only .htaccess configurations. That is a way of doing it for Laravel?
The solution should allow the website to work both ways: with and without the vhosts!
This is may help.
copy everything from myproject/public to public_html
open public_html/index.php and set:
require DIR.'/../myproject/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/../myproject/bootstrap/start.php';
and put this on top:
ini_set('eaccelerator.enable', 0);
Last create a .htaccess file on root directory.
Create an .htaccess file on your laravel's root directory.
This is to access it without the "public" on the url.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I have laravel 9 running locally on windows (MAMP) and I want to open the home page with:
localhost/myproject
instead of
localhost/myproject/public
I tried to add .htaccess to the root folder with the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
and it didn't work! (I got 404),
(Although this worked with laravel 8!)
so what is the solution for this !? I spent hours on searching blogs and tweaking to no avail!
I also read on some discussions that using .htaccess or replacing the server.php and renaming it are NOT totally safe for production.
so what is the solution, and would this solution also work if I host my website online (for example on shared hosting) ?
THANKS
I have deployed several websites to hosting and vps servers with following .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
If error still occurs you may contact to your hosting provider and ask them to give you valid .htaccess rules. You may move your files inside public folder to root folder as well.
Please beware of doing solutions like htacces and changing laravel core files in production, which will make your private files public.
there is a more secure way to do it.
Developments
use: `php artisan serve`
production
you can use Document Root to make the domain point to your project's public folder.
To remove the public folder from laravel 9 you need to customize the .htaccess file.
You must have mod_rewrite enabled on your Apache server. The rewrite module is required to apply these settings. You also have enabled .htaccess in Apache virtual host for Laravel.
Update the code into your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
create a .htaccess in root directory
put these two line in it
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public($|/)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
I currently new for deploying a project files to the godaddy hosting sites, so before i post this, I read some related question created already here in stackoverflow, I just confuse because there cpanel has public_html folder and my panel has no public html. so right now I experience
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
The things only I do is to move the laravel files in the httpdocs.
My CPanel : Plesk Onyx 17.8.11
For the folder structure:
So Inside of httpdocs are all of my laravel files
Website shows like this..
Hope someone help me for this problem.
I think the reason your folder structure is like this is that your GoDaddy Hosting is a Windows Shared Hosting.
What to basically need to do is create a folder for your app on the home directory and then on the httpdocs, put the public folder from your app.
GoDaddy Plesk Folder List:
cgi-bin
error_docs
httpdocs
logs
<your laravel app folder minus the "Public" folder>
Inside the httpdocs folder:
App_Data
.user.ini
Default.aspx
web.config
<+ contents of your Public folder>
Once this is complete, you will need to edit a few files:
From Public Folder: index.php
Find:
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
Change to:
require __DIR__.'/../<laravel app folder>/vendor/autoload.php';
Next Find:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
Change to:
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../<laravel app folder>/bootstrap/app.php';
After this, make sure the .env file is properly configured and all the tables from your local database is mirrored in you server database.
Also, if you have open_dir problems, you can disable it on the PHP Settings from Plesk but I am not sure what are the issues this will cause in the long run.
Well, there are two ways...
1st in cpanel search for "Installatron Applications Installer" or somekind of app installer :)
In installatron app installer screen on right top find "Applications Browser" from there search for Laravel and install it by choosing your domain(If you have more than one domain)
After installation copy and replace your local files with the remote files.
2nd second way, .zip your local laravel folder. And upload your files to your server, and then extract the files.
NOW FROM HERE IT'S THE SAME FOR BOTH WAYS->
"public" directory in laravel project will be in the root of your remote server(root folder for your domain, If you have addon domains for ex. public_html/example.com then "public" folder should be in that example.com)
make another folder and put all other laravel files and folders in that folder.
open and edit /public/index.php
change these two lines->
require DIR.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
to reflect the file structure in your server.
For ex. if "public" folder is in the same directory with "vendor" and "bootstrap" remove /..
Edit your .env file pay attention to database credentials.
PS: do not change database host address it should remain same.
AND FINALLY the .htaccess files
you need to have two .htaccess files
one in "public" directory content like this->
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Send Requests To Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Second .htaccess file will be in the root folder of the domain with content->
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
ONE PROBLEM YOU MIGHT COME ACCROSS if php version problem stating that composer dependencies version is php7.xx bla bla
If this happens go to cpanel again and search for "Select PHP Version"
From there change your current PHP version to suit with the PHP version you get in the error. And you need to click "Set as current"!
That's it :)
I'm using Laravel 5.3 is there a easy way to remove public from URL? is it necessary to add a htacces. when I change the htacces it is getting a n error like below,
copy both htaccess and index.php file from public folder to root directory and then change root index.php code as below
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';
After installing Laravel, you should configure your web server's document / web root to be the public directory. The index.php in this directory serves as the front controller for all HTTP requests entering your application.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/installation#configuration
Do not edit .htaccess or Laravel related files, just point web server to a public directory instead of Laravel project directory:
DocumentRoot "/path_to_laravel_project/public"
<Directory "/path_to_laravel_project/public">
Then restart Apache.
Add a .htaccess file in root which contains -
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
Yes it is very simple no need to add extra htaccess,
Create a new folder in your laravel project folder.
Name it whatever you like. Example :- source
Move all the files from root into 'source' folder except 'public' folder.
4 . Move all the files from public folder to root.
5 . Change the autoload.php path
6 . Thats all. remove public folder if necessary.
In the root directory create a .htaccess file and put the following in
it
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Even above solution(s) work(s) for you,but I would recommend not to do this.
Here is the reason why.
-You should be pointing your Apache host root to the $LARAVEL_PATH/public directory instead of $LARAVEL_PATH.
-you have to configure apache for user not access .env, git files , config folder's file
public directory is there for reason to make project a bit more secure. Solve the actual problem and don't try to break this simple but nice security addition.
Copy all files and folder from public folder to root folder and edit your .htaccess file as
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
And dont forget to change the paths in index.php file.

Installing Laravel in a subfolder
https://ellislab.com/forums/archive/viewthread/151342/#734511
I have a Laravel 5.2 application on a cPanel hosting account in which I had to remove the "public" folder from the URL with the following .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Now I need to redirect everything incoming to just the main domain/page www.example.com to be redirected to www.example.com/en.
I tried some examples but all of them break the local css and img.
Reinventing the wheel is always a bad idea. What you should do is to setup your web server correctly by pointing it to a public directory and restarting it. Also, use original Laravel .htaccess.
After that use Laravel localization.
Then you could just copy Controller#method you using for /en route and put it into / route.
I am sorry about this, but my htdocs root is wrong and I can't change that. So I have to make it work in the /public folder.
I use the normal Laravel .htaccess file with the following rewrite:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
If I open http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public I get redirected to http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public/http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public/login
How can I fix this?
I would love to make it work from http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/ but getting it to work with http://kemtime2_neu.pr.domain.de/public/ would be fine.
I use the 3 solution of this post and works fine:
http://web.archive.org/web/20130320184846/http://forums.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=1258
Solution 1 - Alternate installation path with symlink.
This is the preferred solution and in general an all-around good idea. It's possible to install your application to a folder unrelated to public_html/ and then symlink the public folder to the public_html/ path.
For example:
Install your application to /home/applications/mysite.com
Imagine that your DocumentRoot points to /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs
Remove the httpdocs folder from the mysite.com vhosts folder then connect the two with a symlink: ln -s /home/applications/mysite.com/public /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs
Solution 2 - .htaccess with mod_rewrite
This solution enables you to drop Laravel into your public folder then use a .htaccess file to redirect requests to the public folder. This solution places your application and core system code into a publicly accessible folder. This is not something that we encourage you to do with any PHP framework.
Step 1. Place Laravel in your document root folder.
Step 2. Place the following .htaccess file in your document root folder.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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.
