500 internal server error Laravel 5

Question

I'm receiving an internal server error on Laravel 5.

My .htaccess files (both one at root and one in /public:

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

My log:

AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Answer 1

Within the /public directory .htaccess, you are rewriting urls to point at /public again, so it is endlessly rewriting the url. In the /public htaccess file, the rule would be

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [L]

Check out the .htaccess file that ships with Laravel for reference:
