How to set up XAMPP under laravel 5.1?

Question

Laravel

localhost/laravel/ - Gives a directory of files. How can I configure apache to return an index page on this request.

Answer 1

Laravel is focused on nginx
If you want Apache, drop the .htaccess file from the public folder to the root, and rename server.php to index.php
But this is a collective farm solution.

Answer 2

On open-server , laravel starts up without problems. In addition, it is much more convenient than XAMPP.

Answer 3

Specify the path to the public folder in httpd.conf . Either through .htaccess Or, or by moving the files from public to the root, and the files \ folders of the framework into a separate folder and changing the paths in the index.
