unable to remove index.php from laravel url ?? in ubuntu 14.04 - php

Question

there
I just created a new project in laravel 5.2. then I had successfully removed public/index.php from url of my project in windows it works fine.
But While I copied the same project in ubuntu inside var/www/html as /var/www/html/myproject. And enabled apache2 rewrite_mode. But it no work without putting index.php in url. It works without public only.
http:://localhost/myproject/index.php/cms (it works fine) BUT
http:://localhost/myproject/cms(it does not works)??? .Any suggestion????
my code is as
route.php
define( "PREFIX", "cms" );
Route::get(PREFIX . '/login', 'Auth\AuthController#getLogin');
it fine
also I already cut all files from public folder to root directory and edit index.php file as
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
By
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
by
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';
.htaccess as
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$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>

Answer 1

I ran into this and foud a solution on http://laravel.io.
On Apache 2.4.7 the apache2.conf is set to not allow .htaccess override by setting AllowOverride None:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
You can change this in apache2.conf, but this is not recommended. Instead do this override in the VirtualHosts file for your site ie. sites-available/yoursite.com.conf. Something like this:
<Directory /var/www/html/yoursite.com/laravelappinstall/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Make sure that you have enabled the rewrite module ie. sudo a2enmod rewrite. Restart your web server ie. sudo service apache2 restart.

•Go to mainproject/public>>
a. .htacess
b. favicon.ico
c. index.php
d. robots.txt
e. web.config
1.cut these 5 files from public folder,and then paste on the main project folder that’s means out side of public folder… mainproject/files
2.Next after paste ,open index.php ,modify
•require __DIR__.'/…/bootstrap/autoload.php'; to
•require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
modify
$app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/app.php'; to
$app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/app.php';
