# Laravel 5 – Remove Public from URL



127

I have solved the issue using 2 answers:

1. Renaming the server.php to index.php (no modifications)
2. Copy the .htaccess from public folder to root folder (like rimon.ekjon said below)
3.  Changing .htaccess it a bit as follows for statics:

    ```
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
    RewriteRule ^(css|js|images)/(.*)$ public/$1/$2 [L,NC]
    ```

    If there are any other **static files** needed just add the extension to the previous declared list
