Laravel 5 .htaccess url public remove not working

Question

I am using laravel 5 with default directory structure. For removing public folder from url I am using following code in .htaccess

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

I am using xampp and my path is like this http://localhost/pro/laravel5/public

so my project is in htdocs/pro/laravel5/ here I have kept above .htaccess else everything is default

when I try to access my project I get following error.

NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 145:

How can I solve this any suggestion, am I missing any things in .htaccess let me know. And I don't want to use second option of moving files and folder.

Hey any way you have to copy .htaccess and index file to your root path then in your htaccess file use public

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

then your index.php thtz all :)

require __DIR__.'/laravel5/bootstrap/autoload.php'; and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/laravel5/bootstrap/app.php';
