<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c> rewriteengine on rewritebase /projects/laravel/ rewriterule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [l] </ifmodule> <ifmodule !mod_rewrite.c> errordocument 404 /index.php </ifmodule>

in application root dir c:\xampp\htdocs\projects\laravel\public have .htaccess next 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 end controller... rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewriterule ^ index.php [l] </ifmodule>

if want without public on uri, using composer laravel root. utilize command php artisan serve , browse localhost:8000 browser. bring homepage.
