index.php is a valid file in the public directory; any file in the public directory is publically accessible.

laravel app using index.php in url
I have a website in laravel which is installed on a vps server using apache.
The virtualhost file for it is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public
<Directory /var/www/example.com/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
The problem that i discovered today is if i use in the url /index.php it still loads the homepage (even if I don`t have that route defined)
the homepage route is:
Route::any('/', 'HomeController@index')->name('homepage')
Why is this happening? Is there a setting in laravel to prevent this ?

@tykus How to remove it from the url ?
One solution would be using htaccess
# Redirect if index.php is in the URL
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.+) / [R=301,L]
but I don`t like working with htaccess.
Is there a laravel solution ?

That is what .htaccess is for.
If you really wanted to write it in Laravel, then a global middleware that checks for the first segment of the URL and redirects if required would achieve the same end. It comes with more overhead since the framework must be bootstrapped etc.; and it is more code that must be maintained

I suggest checking this guide out

this approach is not not working as expected:
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.+) / [R=301,L]
If the request is /index.php - it still load the /index.php without redirect to /
If I use /index.php/category it redirects to /category (it remove the index.php)
I have tried another one:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) / [R=301,NE,L]
this works fine .... but the problem here is If I have: /index.php?test it redirects to /?test
Anyone know how can I change this rules to redirect 301 to / if there is index.php in the url ???

I have edited using QSD:
# Redirect if index.php is in the URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php / [R=301,NE,L,QSD]
And now it works :)

Had the same.
Adding AllowOverride All to a Directory Tag pointing to the root folder fixed it.
I.e.
<Directory /var/www/example.com/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
