I have a Laravel application in a directory:
/var/www/html/example/
The public folder of the site is:
/var/www/html/example/public/
I have a folder outer public folder with images, css/js and other files:
/var/www/html/example/application/themes/
I want to serve these files from this folder as follows:
http://www.example.com/themes/
Here is the current .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]</IfModule>
Can you help me with the completition of the htaccess file, to serve the files from within the outer public folder. I made a few tests, but I get 500 or 400 errors.
I don't know why do you want to do that, seems to me like it's not a good idea. But if you really need this, the simpliest way to do that is to use symbolic links.
ln -s /var/www/html/example/application/themes/ /var/www/html/example/public/themes/

I have a subdomain called test.mysite.com and I have a CI4 installation inside a folder there called project. So the actual url for the CI4 installation is test.mysite.com/project/public/index.php. I want to remove the public/index.php portion from the url but continue to use the public folder to have my files, as they should.
I'm using this .htaccess on the project folder root:
DirectoryIndex /public/index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./public/index.php/$1 [L]
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2|font.css|css|js)$">
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
But it's not working. When I access test.mysite.com/project it leads me to a server list of files. I know the .htaccess file is being properly read because when I add an error there it gives me a warning
EDIT:
CI4 already comes with an htaccess inside the public folder:
# Disable directory browsing
Options All -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
# If you installed CodeIgniter in a subfolder, you will need to

When I access test.mysite.com/project it leads me to a server list of files
Because your DirectoryIndex is set to /public/index.php (which presumably does not exist, as the index document is located at /project/public/index.php) and directory indexes (mod_autoindex) is presumably enabled (it should be disabled, so that such a request results in a 403 Forbidden).
the difference is that the other website that is working is not on a subdomain and it’s on the root, so it’s not the same htaccess
I'm not sure why it would be any different?
With the .htaccess file in the /project subdirectory, arrange your mod_rewrite (and mod_dir) directives like this instead:
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^public/(index\.php|images|assets|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) public/index.php/$1 [L]
The presence of robots\.txt and favicon\.ico in the first condition implies you are rewriting requests from the document root. Since search engines request /robots.txt (in the document root), not /project/robots.txt (or /project/public/robots.txt). The same applies to /favicon.ico. If you are not rewriting these two requests then these two entries are not required.
This also assumes you are linking directly to your static resources using the public subdirectory. eg. /projects/public/images/foo.jpg. This isn't necessarily desirable since it exposes /public in the URL path. Users won't necessarily see this as it's not directly visible in the browser's address bar, but search engines and anyone who views the HTML source / network traffic will see it.
Just to add, that first condition (ie. RewriteCond directive) is "just" an opimisation. If it's set incorrectly, your site will probably work OK and you won't see a difference, except that it will be performing many more filesystem checks than it needs to do.
Alternative structure
An alternative approach is to have two .htaccess files. A basic /project/.htaccess file that simply rewrites everything to the public subdirectory and a more comprehensive (CI) .htaccess file at /project/public/.htaccess that actually routes the request to CI. This then allows you to omit public from all URLs, including URLs to your static resources.
For example:
/project/.htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
# Unconditionally rewrite everything to the "public" subdirectory
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
/project/public/.htaccess
The presence of mod_rewrite directives in the subdirectory .htaccess file naturally prevent a rewrite loop from the RewriteRule directive in the parent directory. (Assuming mod_rewrite inheritance has not been enabled.)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1 [L]
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2|font.css|css|js)$">
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
Working for years with Codeigniter 3 I had this issue too. First I tried the .htaccess road but after realizing Codeigniter 3 could also benefit from a more secure structure, I applied the same experience to Codeigniter 4.
The basic idea is to move the whole framework to a folder off the web root. And move the public folder to the root (WEBROOT can also be a subfolder under the public html folder)
PRIVATEFOLDER
\codeigniter:
\app
\vendor
\writable
WEBROOT
assets\
index.php
.htaccess
Then I'll modify index.php (and spark and preload.php if used). This will do in index.php:
// This is the line that might need to be changed... etc
define('ENGINEPATH', 'PRIVATEFOLDER/codeigniter');
require ENGINEPATH . '/app/Config/Paths.php';
And /app/Config/Paths.php to this:
namespace Config;
class Paths
{
public $systemDirectory = ENGINEPATH . '/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system';
public $appDirectory = ENGINEPATH . '/app';
public $writableDirectory = ENGINEPATH . '/writable';
public $testsDirectory = ENGINEPATH . '/tests';
public $viewDirectory = ENGINEPATH . 'app/Views';
}
Now, set the $baseURL to the WEBROOT url and you should be able to navigate without index.php and public, and the app code is protected outside the public folder.
I have an application with its UI accessible at subdomain.example.com/subdir1/subdir2/ and would like for this to load for a user who goes to subdomain.example.com/subdir1/. I believe this is called a subdirectory alias, but I am not entirely certain about this. When I search for other questions/examples here, all I can find are explanations of how to 'hide' subdir1 or subdir1/subdir2 and I have been unable to figure out how to change those examples to work for my case.
The file structure is
subdomain root
public_html
subdir1
(a bunch of application folders and files)
subdir2
(a bunch of UI-related application files)
.htaccess
The .htaccess file in subdir2/ contains the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase #add base url ex: www.website.com[/this part is your base url for this file up to "public"]
#RewriteBase /your_base_url
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
There are no other .htaccess files at the moment.
How would I go about having someone who visits URL subdomain.example.com/subdir1 to load the content of ...subdir1/subdir2 (while the address bar URL remains ...subdir1)? Is it possible from within this one .htaccess file, or will I need to create another one at some other location?
I have a Laravel 5.4 project under the folder www of Wampserver64.
The project folder name is AxilogicV2.
When I visit localhost/AxilogicV2 it will take me to the login screen, but after login succeeds it takes me to 'localhost/'. (The form should make a post request to itself ('/') and will be redirected to ('/view').
Every redirection ignores 'AxilogicV2'.
Example: localhost/AxilogicV2/view/9408 => localhost/view/9408.
Here is my .htaccess file. I tried a bunch of redirect rules but didn't work.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /AxilogicV2
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
In httpd.conf file Rewrite is enabled and Override is set to All.
Edit: I took out the index.php from public folder and made appropriate corrections so that it will find the right bootstrap folder and access autoload.php and app.php
I have a classic Larevel 5 project structure and I need to redirect all requests to public/.
I am on a classic hosting environment so public/ is a subfolder of my document root.
I shall imagine it can be done via .htaccess but I still need to figure out how. Anyone can help?
Thanks
There are two solutions:
1. Using .htaccess with mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
2. You can add a index.php file containing the following code and put it under your root Laravel folder (public_html folder).
<?php
header('Location: public/');
You don't need to change anything in Laravel's default public/.htaccess file.
Just create a new .htaccess in the same level your public folder and add the following content to it:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ public/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^((?!public/).*)$ public/$1 [L,NC]
That simple!
This is an extract from another answer which may also help you.

Modify your public_html/.htaccess to redirect all requests to the public subfolder.
# public_html/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect All Requests To The Subfolder
RewriteRule ^ /public
</IfModule>
Make sure you have the proper public_html/public/.htaccess (GitHub).
# public_html/public/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
If you use cPanel, then:
1.Go to folder:
/var/cpanel/userdata/my_domain
2.Edit the both domains:
my.domain and my.domain_SSL
Add to the documentroot section /public:
documentroot: /home/user/public_html/public
3.Rebuild Apache config:
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf && service httpd restart
if you using apache , add .htaccess file to your root directory with this lines :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
and make sure your apache redirect and rewrite modules is working fine .
you can use vhost to redirect the all request to your public directory with set public as root of your project .
The ideal scenario is to have /home/user/public as a symlink from /home/user/laravel/public.
I have the following directory structure:
root
--/inc
--/img
--/docs
---/public
----/contact
-----/img
------telephone.jpg
-----contact.php
---/private
My aim is to make each folder under 'docs' a 'contained' webpage. Each folder will have it's own /img/ folder, and a /bin/ folder too, which could contain anything from Mp3s to PDFs.
Currently I am routing everything through to index.php, and then manually redirecting the file from there. But this is proving to be very slow. What I was thinking would be faster would be something like this in my .htaccess if say, an image was trying to be accessed via /contact/telephone.png:
try /img/{url_path}
Otherwise, try /docs/$1/img/$2
Otherwise route through index.php
How could I go about doing this? Currently my .htaccess is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# if file not exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# if dir not exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# avoid 404s of missing assets in our script
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.(jpe?g|png|gif|css|js)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Any help appreciated! Thanks
You can do something like this in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
# check if this image path exists in docs/<folder>/img first
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/docs/$1/img/$2 -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.+?)/?$ /docs/$1/img/$2 [L]
