Directory
Set your domain web directory or root to public directory of the application. For instance, if you have uploaded the application to the folder domain.com, you should set the web directory to domain.com/public folder.

If you are unable to change the document root to domain.com/public during the setup of your domain to install the application because your domain is the primary domain of the host and is automatically assigned to the public_html directory, then in order to eliminate the public path from the URL, you should utilize the .htaccess file provided here.
