Access Directory Contents

Hi there,

Trying to deploy my first laravel app. Since Laravel is working best in the root directory, I installed it there.

In that same root directory are some other folders, i'd like to access. And with access, i mean list those directories. (See the contents in the browser. It's an old assets dir. I just want to have access to it.) But Laravel tries to parse it as a route. I know my .htaccess is set to go to the directory if it exists, but it's going into an infinite redirection loop.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Yey! I fixed my own problem :)

I added a line to the default .htaccess in the /public folder:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d <---- THIS ONE :)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
