How to Remove “public/index.php” from URL in Laravel

Written by Rahul, Updated on December 15, 2018

Create or edit the .htaccess file in the Laravel root directory and configure the RewriteRule to remove “public/index.php” from the URL.

You must have mod_rewrite enable on your Apache server. The rewrite module is required to apply these settings. You also have enabled .htaccess in Apache virtual host for Laravel.

Edit the .htaccess file so that it contains the following code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On 
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

Now you should be able to access the website without the “/public/index.php/” part.

Rahul, this probably works for the ‘/’ route. I’m in trouble with the ‘/mypage’ route. To let it work I have to use ‘/index.php/mypage’ witch is not so nice. Can you teel me how to get rid of index.php for this kind of route?
