How to remove public/index.php from URL in Lumen?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Inside the public folder there is a .htaccess with a redirect to index.php
But you have to add the address to the public folder in the URL :
http://example.com/project/public/
I tried redirecting to the folder, but it does not work.

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

I sent Laravel to the server.php file, which is at the root - everything worked. Lumen does not work. Shared hosting complicates the situation

Answer 1

The problem was the folder hierarchy. The api.example.com subdomain contained project folders. Accessing the project
The folder contained the htaccess specified in the question. The redirect did not work because instead of referring to the project, there was a call to the public folder.
Solved by specifying the project name in htaccess

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

DirectoryIndex won't work?
I'm already silent about a normally configured virtualhost
