Answer 1

Here is sample for my case and your case:-
My Case:-
URL Before .htaccess www.xyz.com/public/index.php
URL After .htaccess www.xyz.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* public/index.php [L]
Your Case:-
URL Before .htaccess www.xyz.com/test/public/index.php
URL After .htaccess www.xyz.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* test/public/index.php [L]

The Laravel app is inside /public folder, which also already has a .htaccess: mysite.com/public/test
What you can do is symlink the project/public folder to the public directory. For example:
ln -s /path/to/project/public /var/www
Now you should be able to see the app on mysite.com/test.

The
.htaccess
file is already existed in public folder what you need to configure is your server
for Linux on terminal execute :
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo vi myapp.conf
Add/Modify these lines to suit your server
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myapp.localhost.com
DocumentRoot "/home/vagrant/projects/myapp/public"
<Directory "/home/vagrant/projects/myapp/public">
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save the file, then continue below.
/etc/apache2/sites-available$ cd ../sites-enabled
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled$ sudo ln -s ../sites-available/myapp.conf
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled$ sudo service apache2 restart
And for Windows Servers inside your Laravel root folder add web.config file and write these codes inside it
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear />
<add value="index.php" />
<add value="default.aspx" />
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="index.html" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
<handlers accessPolicy="Read, Execute, Script" />
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Imported Rule 1">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/public/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="public/index.php/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
)

Create an .htaccess file on your laravel's root directory. This is to access it without the "public" on the url
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
