php - How to run Laravel without Artisan?

Question

I have PHP with Apache2 and I want to run Laravel Framework without Artisan but I can't! Does anyone know how to run Laravel without Artisan?

Answer 1

I've solved the problem. The problem was in my htaccess and in mod_rewrite (Apache2). Now I can connect to my application only by typing localhost/public..

If anyone wants to make the application public, the more easy and fastest way is:

• Rename the "server.php" file in root directory, in "index.php"
• Move your .htaccess from public folder to root directory
• Make your directory accessible to Apache2 (set correct file/folder permissions).

Thanks to all users for help! :)

Important Edit

Consider using Apache Virtual Hosts (pointing the virtual host to the /public Laravel folder) instead of renaming server.php to index.php because by doing this you will need to prefix "public/" when you use the Laravel's asset() function in your views.

When working with other devs, who are using a different configuration, this might be a big problem because they will be able to see the assets while you will not (or viceversa).
