Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/Users/uyab/Sites/public_html/public/../bootstrap/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php') in /Users/uyab/Sites/public_html/public/index.php on line 21

Edit Index.php

require __DIR__.'/protected/bootstrap/autoload.php';
...
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/protected/bootstrap/start.php';

Edit protected/bootrap/bootstrap/paths.php

'public' => __DIR__.'/../..',

Method 3: The Simplest Way

The framework ships with a public/.htaccess file that is used to allow URLs without index.php. If you use Apache to serve your Laravel application, be sure to enable the mod_rewrite module.

If the .htaccess file that ships with Laravel does not work with your Apache installation, try this one:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Nginx

On Nginx, the following directive in your site configuration will allow "pretty" URLs:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

There are several ways to remove / public on laravel. The simplest way is to change
