I am currently editing my .htaccess file to redirect any request to the public folder inside my project but Im just getting this error

404 Object not found

Below is the code in the .htaccess folder

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1

Im not very well acquainted with htaccess code, what is wrong with this?

UPDATE

Below is a summarized file structure in my project, if it helps

-projectfolder
|
|--.htaccess
|
|----includes
|
|----mvc
|
|----cache
|
|----public

Thanks in advance

Is .htaccess even enabled? Where is this .htaccess located? – anubhava Feb 18 '15 at 12:13

@anubhava - its at the root of the my project folder – Stanley Ngumo Feb 18 '15 at 12:44

It appears your .htaccess is not directly under DocumentRoot. Try this rule instead:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^((?!public/).*)$ public/$1 [L,NC]
