Pagi @davy_yg,
When you deploy your site you are meant to point the domain to the public folder. Not the root of the project.

removing public from the url
Hello,
I tried to remove public from the url and found this link:
Only that it is in Indonesian. I try to translate Option 2 to English perhaps if it makes any sense? (I understand the rest of it besides this one):
Option 2: Move something to the directory '/public' to the root directory
Create a folder in the root directory and move ll the files and folder expect for the public folder. You can call it anything you want. In this case, I use "laravel code".
Next, move everything from the public directory and to the root folder. It will result something like this:

The best way to to it is to change the document root on your web server so that it points to the public folder
In apache it probably looks something like this
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
Change it to
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/public"
In nginx it probably looks something like this
root /var/www
Change it to
root /var/www/public
Just google, "how to set document root in " (change to apache or nginx).
If you can't change it in Apache you can use the htaccess file to reroute any calls to your document root to public but it's not recommended.
#Rewrite everything to subfolder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ public/ [L]
If you aren't allowed to change the document root on your host, I suggest you change host.

@Tray2 Where to find the DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" in XAMPP?
I have searched in php.ini and my.ini and cannot find it
Level 73
@davy_yg Dude, do you even know how to use Google?
The document root is defined in the httpd.conf file probalby located here if you followed the recommendations. c:\XAMPP\apache\conf\httpd.conf

@Tray2 The only DocumentRoot I can find in c:\XAMPP\apache\conf\httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp75/htdocs"

@davy_yg exactly and change that to
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp75/htdocs/public"

@Snapey This very question was answered for @davy_yg here:
You even got best answer.
Edit
@jeffreyway could you do a short video showing how to point to public as document root in Apache and Nginx, as this question comes up so often. I have answered it countless times and so has others here. Especially Apache since Taylor only has an Nginx example in the documentation.

Just wondering, did you notice that the path ""E:/xampp75/htdocs/dashboard/docs" containing the html and pdf files name configure-vhosts.html or configure-vhosts.pdf
You can just open the pdf file just via the url http://localhost/dashboard/docs/configure-vhosts.html
By following the guide, I am able to serve laravel projects correctly 😅.

@davy_yg what point to public as document root means is:
Look at this nginx example:
server {
listen 81;
server_name laravel.local;
# 192.168.0.1
root /nginx/www/laravel842/public; <----- HERE you point to public
location / {
index index.html index.htm index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
// more lines of code
However public isn't in URL. Do similar following Apache documentation.

I finally found the answer by using .htaccess, someone advice to do so:
.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#Session timeout
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^ [N]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php
</IfModule>
