title: Laravel 4 removing public from URL
body: <p>So, I'm running xampp on Windows. I'm currently trying to get familiar with the laravel framework. Now, when thats pointed out. How can i be able to access my laravel application/website direct within the root?</p>
  
  <p>Example,</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>What I'm doing now is: localhost/laravel/public/about (to see the
  about page) </li>
  <li>What i want to do is: localhost/laravel/about</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any good solutions for this? do i need to add a .htacess file on the root folder of laravel? (not the public one).</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
