http://localhost/project-name/

It brings me to: This root page

My question is, how can i point:

http://localhost/project-name/ to http://localhost/project-name/public/index.php

Answer 1

First make a local host like

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@projectName
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp7/htdocs/projectName"
    ServerName projectName.local
    ServerAlias projectName.local
    ErrorLog "C:/xampp7/htdocs/school/projectName.local-error.log"
    CustomLog "C:/xampp7/htdocs/school/projectName.local-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

and define the host too like the server name in the host file and point the folder you want to hit

Answer 2

I discovered that when I try to point all my url to public/index.php in my project it return error 404 based on it can't find my controller after rewriting my .htaccess to point to public/index.php in my project root directory.

This is how I solved my problem =>
I move the index.php and the default .htaccess to my project root directory then I edit the index.php to locate my app directory
Eg
index.php Default find this line

// This is the line that might need to be changed, depending on your folder structure.
$pathsPath = FCPATH . '../app/Config/Paths.php';

Change it to

// This is the line that might need to be changed, depending on your folder structure.
$pathsPath = FCPATH . './app/Config/Paths.php';

I hope this work for you
