You might want to run a Laravel application that we occasionally publish to shared hosting. With shared hosting, we are unable to set the path to index.php directly. Therefore, we must launch the app with the "public" folder. So, the "public" in the url will cause problems for you.

Solution 1: Laravel Remove Public From URL using .htaccess

In Laravel, the .htaccess file can be generated and edited to incorporate new changes. The .htaccess file is located in the root directory, and its modification requires mod_rewrite to be enabled on your Apache server. It is mandatory to enable the rewrite module to implement these changes. Moreover, you need to activate .htaccess in Apache virtual host to use it in Laravel.

Finally, update the necessary code in the .htaccess file to incorporate the changes.

.htaccess

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

Solution 2: Rename server.php and Move .htaccess File

To remove "public" from your Laravel URL, you need to complete the following two steps:

1. Rename the server.php file in your Laravel root folder to index.php.

2. Copy the .htaccess file located in the /public directory to your Laravel root folder.

3. All public folder css and js file move to root folder.

I hope it can help you...
