Laravel 5.1 - Remove "public/" of the URL whith Method bind? - php

Question

I need some help Please, for I'm beginner with Laravel and MVC.
I want to remove the "public/" of the URL.
The only two "solutions" that I found in Google, are:
Either with .htaccess. But with me (and obviously not with me) it's not working.
Either by putting what is in the "public" folder at the root of the project Laravel. This is not good for security reasons.
There is a real solution to remove the "public/" URL? So that for example this URL:
localhost/Laravel/public/test
Accessible only with this URL:
localhost/Laravel/test
Because if it or has no solution, it is of no use that I continuous to take courses on this Frameworks.
_I had read, that there may be a solution with this in AppServiceProvider:
http://www.creerwebsite.com/medias/upload/larav2.png
Or with this in the Router or a container:
App::bind('path.public', function() {
return base_path().'/public_html';
});
But I am beginner, so I do not find the solution.
Thank you.

The best option is to configure your local installation of WAMP to use Laravel's public folder as the document root. You have two options here:
Option 1. Use wamp just for this project alone
Find your httpd.conf file. This is the server config, and should be located in C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf. (it's a good idea to make a backup of this file before editing)
Open the config file in notepad, find the line DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www" and change to DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/public" (assuming you have your laravel project in the www folder)
save the httpd.conf and restart wamp.
Now when you visit http://localhost you should see the Laravel welcome screen.
Option 2. Set up a virtual host
This option is a bit more complicated, but will allow you to have multiple websites running alongside each other in wamp, each with their own subdomain that you can use to access them in your browser.
1. open the httpd.conf file in notepad and find the line DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www". Change it to DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/default".
2. add the following snippet below this line:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot 'c:/wamp/www'
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName myproject.localhost
DocumentRoot 'c:/wamp/www/myproject/public'
</VirtualHost>
This will create two new virtual hosts running on your local ip. One will work on the domain localhost and serve files from the www/default folder, the other will work on the domain myproject.localhost and serve files from the www/myproject/public folder.
locate your hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and open it in notepad. add the following lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 myproject.localhost
This will add two domain mappings that point traffic to your local ip for wamp to handle.
Now navigate to the www folder and create C:\wamp\www\default and C:\wamp\www\myproject. Move your laravel project into the \myproject folder ensuring that the public folder is here as well.
finally restart wamp and now you should be able to go to http://myproject.localhost and see your laravel website.

The solution :
_In His Laravel project: Rename the "public" folder like this: "www."
_In An accommodation (example OVH): remove all that is at the root, including the "www" (except: .ovhconfig).
_Send His project on accommodation.
I hope it will not cause conflict. After I think we should also rename in his Laravel the "public/" in "www/".
thank You
