htaccess redirect to subfolder with url paramethers - .htaccess

Question

I want to redirect every requests to my public/index.php file. i've tried
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?url=$1
code that seems fine but its not working. my goal is change url form http://example.com/?url=user/profile/2 to http://example.com/user/profile/2.
my directory structure is
root
public
index.php
vendor
.htaccess
composer.json

Answer 1

To handle URLs like: http://example.com/user/profile/2 please try following Rules sets in your .htaccess file. Place your htaccess rules file into root directory. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine ON
RedirectBase /ApadanaCMS/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/(.*)/?$ public/index.php?url=$1/$2/$3 [L]
OR try following rules, please make sure either try above OR following rules at a time only.
Above will work for non-existing pages, to make it for any url(like you mentioned in your question) try:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine ON
RedirectBase /ApadanaCMS/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/(.*)/?$ public/index.php?url=$1/$2/$3 [L]

Answer 2

heres the solution:
uncoment (remove # ) mod_rewrite.so module in httpd.conf file in apache2 (in my case c:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf) file. also change AllowOverride none to AllowOverride All in that file under DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/htdocs" section.
and this is .htaccess content
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^()$ public/index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
however if you need to get static files in your static directory add a new .htaccess file inside static directory with RewriteEngine off content
