URL for laravel app on MAMP

I am a total noob at this. Got MAMP, Laravel. My webroot is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs. Normally to hit my laravel application I have to go to:

http://localhost:8080/myapp/public/index.php

What files do I have to configure to be able to access it like this:

http://myapp.com/index.php

I've read docs about adding an entry into my hosts file but when I tried adding the following entry 127.0.0.1 myapp.com I still have to do http://myapp.com/myapp/public/index.php.

What am I missing?

Solution

  • You need to edit your .htdocs file to forward myapp.com to 127.0.0.1 and then set up a DocumentRoot in your httpd.conf file. You can set up multiple redirects if you do it properly.
