MVC公用文件夹htaccess无法正常工作

I recently moved my index.php (the file that handles routing) and css/js/font assets to a public/ folder. I only want items in this public/ folder to be accessible for security purposes. I ran into this problem when I realized I could visit mysite.com/composer.lock and view the composer lock file with my old .htaccess and folder setup.

Here is what I want

If I visit mysite.com/car/create, I want it to actually point to mysite.com/public/index.php?path=car/create

If I link to an asset such as mysite.com/css/style.css, I want it to really point to mysite.com/public/css/style.css

Here is my folder structure

Here is my .htaccess which is not working at all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ public/index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

I'm not sure how to fix this. It just generates empty pages and I can still directly visit files in the root directory etc. Any help is appreciated.

Your existing directives specifically avoid rewriting requests for existing files, so it would still enable you to visit files in the root directory. It will also rewrite static resources to public/index.php?path=, which will presumably fail.

Try the following instead:

RewriteEngine On

# Stop processing if already in the /public directory
RewriteRule ^public/ - [L]

# Static resources if they exist
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public/$1 -f
RewriteRule (.+) public/$1 [L]

# Route all other requests
RewriteRule (.*) public/index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
