I've a Larvel 5.1
project running absolutely fine. let's say it's hosted at http://www.example.com
. When I go to this address
, it's working aboslutely fine and there is no public/
in URL which is required. Now the only problem is that if someone goes to http://www.example.com/public/
explcitly, he sees homepage contents without any CSS and JS loaded which is totally not good for SEO as it'll count as duplicated site. I've tried searching over internet but everyone is answering how to remove public/
from URL, but in my case it's already removed. I just don't want user to see contents inside public/
if he goes there explicitly. Is there any way to achieve this? I'll post my .htaccess
file too here. It got many code, for enabling cache, adding www.
with domain. Please help me to resolve this problem. I'm totally stuck.
Here is my .htaccess
file contents
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
