Remove directory names from url - php

Question

I have a new Project in Lumen which needs to be deployed to the Staging server and i have done it. I am facing issues with removing the names of directories from the URL. My project Directory is like this:
DIR - ProjectName
DIR - ProjectName {Lumen files inside this directory}
DIR - app
DIR - bootstrap
DIR - database
DIR - public
DIR - resources
DIR - storage
DIR - tests
DIR - Vendor
so currently to view my application i need to enter a url like this :
http://stagingserverdomain.com/ProjectName/ProjectName/public/login
However i would like my url to be like this:
http://stagingserverdomain.com/ProjectName/login
I have tried the many answers form SO but it does not work.

Answer 1

Use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^Projectname/login$ /ProjectName/ProjectName/public/login [L]
It should leave you with the following URL:
http://stagingserverdomain.com/ProjectName/login

Answer 2

Great question! Add this Apache httpd RewriteRule to the appropriate server definition inside your httpd.conf file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(ProjectName)/((?!\1).*) /$1/$1/public/$2
Alternatively, add this to a .htaccess file at the root of your web-server, e.g., where the first ProjectName directory is located:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(ProjectName)/((?!\1).*) $1/$1/public/$2
Alternatively, add this to a .htaccess file within the first ProjectName directory (where the second ProjectName directory is located):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((?!ProjectName).*) ProjectName/public/$1
Alternatively (and this is the recommended course of action), switch to nginx, and do this:
location /ProjectName {
rewrite ^/([^/]+)/((?!\1).*)$ /$1/$1/public/$2;
}
The above code ensures that the rewrite will only happen if your URLs don't already contain ProjectName/ProjectName (using the lookahead assertions of PCRE, which is the library both NGINX and Apache use for support of the regular expressions), so, there won't be any infinite redirect loops.
