Question

Hello I have the following files structure:

/public_html(docroot)
    - /public
        /css
        /js
        index.php
    - /application
    - /library

Note: I cannot change this structure. What I want: all requests to files should open files from public folder, all other requests should go to the index.php. Currently I have the next .htaccess in public_html:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

But it works just with http://hostname/public. How can it work without public? Thanks.

I have found an answer:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !public/
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
