laravel发布网站问题

Question

I need to publish my web app written in laravel 4, i've followed many tutorial in internet but i'm not able to make it works correctly.

i'm on a dedicate server with centos 6.6 where resides another website so the laravel app should be placed in a sub folder named vols

this is the current folder structure:

/
  var/
    www/
       laravel/
          app/
          bootstrap/
          vendor/
          ...
       html/
          vols/
          other files of my website

i've changed the paths inside bootstrap/paths.php to

'app' => __DIR__.'/../../laravel/app'
'public' => __DIR__.'/../../html/vols'
'base' => __DIR__.'/../../laravel'
'storage' => __DIR__.'/../../laravel/app/storage'

and the paths inside vols/index.php to

require __DIR__.'/../../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../laravel/bootstrap/start.php';

my first controller is named volunteers , so if visit http://mydomain/vols i should be redirected to http://mydomain/vols/volunteers instead i see this error message: The requested URL /vols/volunteers was not found on this server.

if i try to connect to http://mydomain/vols/index.php/volunteers everything works correctly but i don't want index.php in my route.

i think i should work on .htaccess inside vols folder, but i've never studied how it really works, so i'm just copying some random snippets from internet substituting public with vols .

currently it look like this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^vols
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ vols/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Some solutions suggests to create vhost, technically i can do that, but i don't know how.

Could you please help me?

You should place the following .htaccess in your vols folder -

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

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /vols/

# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
