How to change the root directory?

[Chocopiee]

In development process, I am using Xampp to build my project.

In that, I configure the root directory in the httpd.conf like following:
DocumentRoot “C:/xampp/htdocs/aeee/public”
<Directory “C:/xampp/htdocs/aeee/public”>

Actually, the index.php is located in the aeee/public (aeee is the project folder).
Can I change the root directory like in the xampp config above ?

Thank you guys in advance.

Changing your root directory isn’t supported, but you can use RewriteRules in a .htaccess file within your htdocs folder to redirect requests to the public directory. Here’s an example from StackOverflow:

Thanks for your answer. But it still not working.

For example, the project folder structure look like this:

|-- models
|-- views
|-- public/
| |-- css
| |-- fonts
| |-- images
| |-- js
| -- index.php |-- .env |-- composer.json – …

To run this on local, I am go to the public folder and run the command: php -S localhost:8080

Can I achieve something like this on this hosting platform. I have searching solution for a while. But I am not found anyone face this problem.

A nice and simple snippets that just rewrites everything to the public folder is the one I shared here:

.htaccess for Laravel

I was just playing around with a Laravel installation on free hosting. Normally, you should change the document root of your website to the public folder with Laravel. You can’t do this on free hosting, but you can simulate this with .htaccess rules. These are the the .htaccess rules I used: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L] Simply create a file with the name .htaccess and these contents and upload it directly to your htdocs folder. This should rewrite all web requests to the p…

Could you please try this one instead of the rewrite snippet you are using now?
