How can I access a folder placed in the public directory of my default laravel installation. This question is for both - testing as well as live purpose.
While Testing-
I am testing on windows using XAMPP's apache http server. I have placed my app's root folder in the htdocs folder of XAMPP. Thus, when I try to access a folder in public directory, 'localhost/myappname/public/blog' it redirects me to 'localhost/blog'.
I don't want this behavior. I want it to pick up the 'index.php' file present at 'localhost/myappname/public/blog/' location. But it doesn't do so.
While Live-
I have my site live on ubuntu with apache http server. When I try to access 'mysitename.com/blog' in the firefox, it gives me this error -
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.
I have no hint about what's wrong. I have tried spending two days working with laravel's default .htaccess file(in public folder) and apache httpd.conf but still not able to resolve it. Have searched a lot over stackoverflow and google but still no clue about where I am wrong. Please guide me.
Added:
The content of .htaccess file is -
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
You just need to comment this line in your .htaccess file.
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
Comment it or strip out from the file. This will solve both your directory /blog issue as well as redirect loop issue.
I used the Alias feature of apache to overcome this problem. I added an alias for '/blog' in my virtual host configuration.

Actually I am deploying my laravel 5 Application on Linode Server.
My client create space for me in such type of path.
var/www/html/abcproject
I point out my godaddy domain to abcproject directory.
Now I have uploaded my all Laravel 5 files on abcproject directory.
My issue is that , my home page is working fine but my internal pages
are giving Not Fount Error.
Suppose when I try to logged in it is giving below error.
Not Found
The requested URL /abcproject/login was not found on this server.
Secondly Laravel 5 URL is getting url like that.
Supposed URL.
http://15.30.19.61/abcproject/index.php/registers
I did not understand where is and what is the issue.
One thing is my project is working fine when I try such type of URL.
http://example.com/index.php/ But In this case my URL Rewriting did not work but project is working like I can logged in, go in different pages, Logout etc.
My HTACCESS FILE
<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>
Thanks
If you are powering your laravel project from a sub folder such as you mentioned above:
http://15.30.19.61/abcproject
You should add this to your .htaccess file under RewriteEngine On.
RewriteBase /abcproject
I also faced a similar issue with LAMP configuration and I resolved by enabling rewrite rules of apache. If some needs details then it can be referred at the below blog notes
http://ankgne.com/post/setting-up-digital-ocean-for-laravel-application
Step 1: Enabling mod re-write using sudo a2enmod rewrite
Step 2: Allowing the laravel .htaccess (in public directory of laravel page)
file to apply rewrite rules
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf and adding below lines
Note: Change "/var/www/html" to "path of laravel public folder"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
. . .
Step 3: Restarting web server using sudo systemctl restart apache2
Problem:
my routes not working except the root home page, I'm searching for two days to find a solution to this problem and what I found that I should change .htaccess file but solutions didn't fix any for my case, at first the url localhost/quotes/public was working well with me, but at some point I'm not sure what is it this issue showed up
what I tried:
create another route and I made sure that no routes are working only
home route, still not working except home
tried to change OverrideMode on my XAMP from None to All, didn't fix any
tried to type manually localhost/quotes/public/index.php BOOM everything
works ..
my htaccess file:
<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>

The problem is that your .htaccess is rewriting everything to the frontcontroller, which is normally located at {host}/index.php. In your application however it is located at {host}/quotes/public/index.php.
So you have 2 options:
1. virtual host
Set up a virtual host in your XAMPP Apache that points ie. myapp.local to htdocs/quotes/public Here is an example of how to achieve this: how to create virtual host on XAMPP. (Don't forget to add the host to your hosts file and have it point to your local macine on 127.0.0.1) You can then access your application on myapp.local/whatever-route-you-define. Alternatively you forget about XAMMP and install the homestead virtual machine, which comes preconfigured for this.
2. rewrite rule
Change you rewrite rule to rewrite all requests to quotes/public/index.php in stead of index.php. I'm no htaccess expert, but I believe it should be as simple as changing this:
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
to this:
RewriteRule ^ quotes/public/index.php [L]
Do note that you'll still need to access your application trough localhost/quotes/public/whatever-route-you-define which is not ideal imo. Your dev version should be as close to your live version as possible, and if you start working with absolute and relative paths and stuff in your code things will become a mess sooner rather then later.
Personally I would go for Homestead, I use it all the time and it works great once you have it running.
Btw, the reason why localhost/quotes/public/index.php is working for you right now is because RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f tells Apache not to rewrite any requests to files that actually exist (otherwise you wouldn't be able to access static assets like your css).
The .htaccess file must be at the root of the application.
Add this in this file :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /public/([^\s?]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,NE,R=302]
RewriteRule ^((?!public/).*)$ public/$1 [L,NC]
Assuming you haven't touched the original architecture of Laravel, and that public data is still in the same place : the public/ folder
You can also follow this good tutorial
Let me give you an example of the way I have my routes setup.
In app\Http\routes.php, here are three sample routes that I have.
Route::get('/', function () {
$values = app('App\Http\Controllers\KeywordController')->index();
dd($values);
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('googlefile', function () {
$output = app('App\Http\Controllers\KeywordController')->printToFileGoogle();
dd($output);
});
Route::get('bingfile', function () {
$output = app('App\Http\Controllers\KeywordController')->printToFileBing();
dd($output);
});
I have WAMP setup on my environment. I have made a controller at app\Http\Controllers\KeywordController.php. If my browser is set to localhost/googlefile, then it will goto the method printToFileGoogle() in KeywordController.php.
Please try something similar to this and tell me if you get an error and if you do what error you get.
I have recently completed my first laravel site, but now I am stuck with deployment. This is an entirely new concept for me. My webspace is supplied by 1&1.
I have attempted several tutorials, but none seem to work.
Based on the tutorial here at:
Uploading Laravel Project onto Web Server
I structured my server folders like so:
(note when first FTPing my server, there was no www or html_docs, only a logs folder).
In the www, my index.php was altered to:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/start.php';
In the laravel/bootstrap/paths.php file I altered:
'public' => __DIR__.'/../../www',
When visiting my domain in a browser, for example: myDomain.co.uk - the site is redirected to a "placeholder" (named /defaultsite) page for 1&1 domains and states "This domain name has just been registered."
If I append /www/index.php for example, I get file does not exist, even though the file is residing in my structure above.
As you probably noticed I am very new to server side aspects such as FTPing ect. I have read a few tuts, and all seem to take a different approach, leaving me confused to the best method.
I am not sure where to go from here, so any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
Edit:
I think I actually got it working, but now when I go to domain.com/public I get what I think is a DB error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory.
Any Advice please?
The reason you are seeing /public/index.php is because you are pointing to the top level directory and not the /public directory. To fix this go to:
Manage domains
Expand your domain and click "Edit Destination"
Change the destination directory to /public/.
This should remove public from the URL.
This is the .htaccess file I use for 1and1 and laravel 4.2 and it removes .index.php and also uses an updated version of PHP:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
AddHandler x-mapp-php6 .php
AddType x-mapp-php6 .php
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
All fixed :) turns out 1&1 do not host their db name as local host, or 121.0.0.1. I simply changed the details and works a dream. next step is to get rid of the terrible /public/index url.
I've searched through Web to solve my problem but non of the solutions works for me there, so after couple of hours of struggling with Routing module I've decided to ask you for a helping hand.
Problem
I am unable to access Laravel application from outside /public directory. I need to type localhost\projects\laravel\public in my browser but what I want is to use the URL withour /public. The main reason is because I use shared hosting and have no access to apache configuration file so I'm unable to create vhost.
Background
I've installed manually Laravel framework under the: **c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel** and used composer to do the rest for me.
The routing has been set to: Route::get('/', 'HomeController#showWelcome');
In my project root directory **c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel** I've put a .htacces file with the following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /projects/laravel/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
In my Application Root dir c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel\public I have .htaccess with the following code in it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
When I type: localhost\projects\laravel\ I've got NotFoundHttpException
When I type: localhost\projects\laravel\public I've got welcome page
Any help would be appreciate, Thanks.
Finally I've got this thing working. There are two solutions that can be made.
One requires to move all -public content level-up
Second requires slightly changes in your shared hosting directory root structure - if allowed
Solution #1
The first that works for me that I didn't want to implement has been posted by #Wasim in this thread: Laravel 4 removing public from URL The solution is not save as the content core structure is in the same directory as application itself. This could cause some problems in future implementation.
You need to move all the content from public/ folder one level-up into project ROOT directory then replace internal paths in index.php file for correct onece. For security reasons this .htaccess file needs to be put into project ROOT directory
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Modified Laravel structure described above can be uploaded to your shared web hosting and the application should runs withour /public in yor http address.
Solution 2 (with no access to http.conf file on your shared hosting)
This solution does not requires form you to move the content of the /public folder one level-up but requires form you to have read and write access to ../ROOT directory in your shared hosting (../ROOT directory mostly contains public_html, public_ftp and other folders).
You need to move Laravel scructure into ../ROOT directory as follows:
app/
bootstrap/
vendors/
public_html/
public_ftp/
(...)
Files form /public folder goes to public_html
public_html/index.php
public_hmtl/.htaccess
public_html/packages/
(...)
Then modification for /bootstrap/paths.php is required for line with 'public' key:
'public' => DIR.'/../public' to 'public' => DIR.'/../public_html'
If someone has similar issue and this solution does not work please let me know, thanks.
If you want without public on uri, using composer from your laravel root. Use command php artisan serve and browse localhost:8000 from your browser. It will bring you to homepage.
Where did you get this line from?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
It's not part of Laravel. Try removing it or the whole .htaccess file in your Laravel root.
I've installed Xampp as a web server and want to make clean URLs for one of my projects. So I put these simple lines in .htaccess file in the root of this project:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Also I made links in this project like this:
About Us
I expected to go to localhost/this_project/about/, but it does not work. I go to localhost/about/ and this is wrong. How can I solve this problem?
I also have put this line in the 2nd line of .htaccess file, but no change happened.
RewriteBase /this_project/
Attention: There are many directories in htdocs folder for each project.
You htaccess looks OK so I guess you are missing
AllowOverride All
In the VHOST <directory> block. If you server will fail after you add AllowOverride make sure you enabled mod_rewrite.
