Renaming the server.php to index.php (no modifications)
Copy the .htaccess from public
Changing .htaccess it a bit as follows for statics:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ! (\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(css|js|images)/(.*)$ public/$1/$2 [L,NC]

In Laravel 5, by default, you don't need to include index in your URL. For example, lets say we have this route:
Route::get('register', function () {
return 'Hello world';
}
So if you try to go to localhost/register, You'll get Hello World output.
Update 1:
IIR, If you're using services like "WampServer" to run your server, you should enable module_rewrite in your Apache and then restart it. For more informatiom, please see this answer - https://askubuntu.com/questions/48362/how-to-enable-mod-rewrite-in-apache

To move your site main url from public in windows you should make a vitual host.to do this first open
1.Open the XAMPP control panel application and stop Apache. Be aware that late Windows machines might run it as a service, so check the box to the left of the Apache module.
2.Navigate to C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra or wherever your XAMPP files are located.
3.Open the file named httpd-vhosts.conf with a text editor.
4.Around line 19 find # NameVirtualHost *:80 and uncomment or remove the hash.
At the very bottom of the file paste the following code:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" # change this line with your htdocs folder
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now you can copy and paste the code above below to add your Virtual Host directories. For example I’m working on a site called Eatery Engine so the following snippet will allow me to work with sub-domains on my local install:
<VirtualHost eateryengine.dev>
ServerAdmin admin#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/laravel-projcet/public"#path to your project #in laravel project be sure to set path to public folder
ServerName eateryengine.dev
ServerAlias eateryengine.dev
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/eateryengine">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
7.Next head over to your Windows host file to edit your HOSTS. the file will be located at C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts, where hosts is the file. Open it with notepad.
Look for
localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
Add your project name with bottom of this line (This is DNS ADDRESS OF YOUR DOMAIN)
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 eateryengine.dev #change to match your Virtual Host.
127.0.0.1 demo.eateryengine.dev #manually add new sub-domains.
Restart Apache and test everything.
now you can access your site without typing localhost or public in url just type domain name which you have register in httpd-vhosts.conf file
The original article for setting virtual host in windows can be found here http://austin.passy.co/2012/setting-up-virtual-hosts-wordpress-multisite-with-xampp-on-windows-7/
