# Remove Public from URL (ok)

1. Rename `server.php` in your Laravel root folder to `index.php`
2. Copy the `.htaccess` file from `/public` directory to your Laravel root folder.

```javascript
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
      Options -MultiViews -Indexes
  </IfModule>
  RewriteEngine On
  # Handle Authorization Header
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
  RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
  # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
  RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
  # Send Requests To Front Controller...
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.css|.js|.png|.jpg|.gif|robots.txt|.ttf)$ [NC]
</IfModule>
```
