Laravel 5.1 rewrite url not working

Question

I am Working on Localhost (WAMP server, php version 5.5.12)

url: http://localhost/laravel/

my root directory .htaccess is:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

Public Directory .htaccess is :

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

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

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

In this scenario when I want to access: http://localhost/laravel/ following error message appears: Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.

1/1 NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:

But when I access : http://localhost/laravel/public/ It successfully loads home page. I have debugged every thing in url rewriting it works fine but laravel not accepting new urls. Can anyone please help me regarding this issue.

what type of web server are you using? wamp or php artisan serve or homestead? — Emeka Mbah

You can simply solve this problem. From your public directory index.php file move in root directory like "project-name/index.php" Then edit your index.php file In line 22 replace "require DIR.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';" this with "require DIR.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';"

and line no 36 replace "$app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/app.php';" with "$app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/app.php';"

Now edit autoload.php from "project-name/bootstrap/autoload.php" here replace line no 17 "require DIR.'/vendor/autoload.php';" with require DIR.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

now browse your project-name. I think it will solve your problem. You can also laravel development server as localhost:8000 for this open your project folder in command window and type "php artisan serve" hit Enter.
