Apache Alias / PHP / Laravel oddity - php

Question

The problem description is very specific, but i have no idea about its source
The project uses Laravel 5.1
I have a project copy on my computer and remote server. Local server is configured to remove /public from URL with VirtualHost. On remote server, project is located in subdirectory. E.g. /project. To get rid of public, there is an alias in httpd.conf and line RewriteBase /project in /project/public/.htaccess
The problem appears when using Laravel's pagination mechanism:
There are links to pages in the page with navigation. On local machine everything is OK, but on remote server clicking on link with URL like http://<server_ip>/project/navigationPage?page=N causes redirect to http://<server_ip>/navigationPage?page=N. Of course, 404 error appears.
What is the problem and how to fix it?
Full .htaccess in /project/public:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /project
# 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>

Ok, problem was in slash that was added to links by paginator. Link was looking like http:///project/navigationPage/?page=N, but must look like http:///project/navigationPage?page=N (without slash). Bug fixed by editing AbstractPaginator's url function:
public function url($page)
{
if ($page <= 0) {
$page = 1;
}
$parameters = [$this->pageName => $page];
if (count($this->query) > 0) {
$parameters = array_merge($this->query, $parameters);
}
return rtrim($this->path, '/').'?'
.urldecode(http_build_query($parameters, null, '&'))
.$this->buildFragment();
}
