.htaccess question

Try one of the following options:

First:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule (.*)  /public/$1 [L]

Second:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$  public/ [L]
RewriteRule ((?s).*)  public/$1 [L]

The third:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  public/$1 [L]

But it's better to set at the Apache level

I tried adding a file .htaccess with content:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

And it seems to work for me. I did not touch the original file (.htaccess) in the public folder.

However, I don't really like this method from a security point of view.

The best solution is to configure the root directory using the method of the server itself, the Apache configuration, for example.

As I recall, this was a common question. Many CMS use public folder, for example: laravel. There should be solutions on the Internet how to change the server configuration.
