Step 1: Rename File

In first step it is very easy and you need to just rename file name. you have to rename server.php to index.php at your laravel root directory.

server.php
INTO
index.php

Step 2: Update .htaccess

first of all you have to copy .htaccess file and put it laravel root folder. You just copy .htaccess file from public folder and then update bellow code:

.htaccess

Options -MultiViews -Indexes

RewriteEngine On

# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
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]

      <div class="form-row">
        <div class="container">
          <label class="ants-label-light" >Club Emblem</label>
        </div>
          <div class="input-group mb-6 container justify-content-center">
            <div class="row">
              <div class="col-6">
                <form action="/uploads" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                  <label class="btn btn-ants">
                    <i class="fa fa-image"></i> Upload Club Emblem
                    <input type="file" style="display: none;" name="club_emblem" id="imgInp">
                  </label>
                </form>
              </div>
              <div class="col-6">
                <label class="btn btn-secondary file_reset"> <!-- Remove Image -->
                  <i class="fa fa-undo"></i>
                </label>
              </div>
            </div>
          <div class="image-display-box">
            <form runat="server">
              <img class="upload_display" src="#" alt="Club Emblem" />
            </form>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>

$( document ).ready(function() {
  // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    function readURL(input) {
      if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function(e) {
          $('.upload_display').attr('src', e.target.result);
        }
        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]); // convert to base64 string
      }
    }
    $("#imgInp").change(function() {
      readURL(this);
    });
    $('.file_reset').on('click', function() {
      $('.upload_display').attr('src', '');
    });
  // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
});

document.onkeydown = function() {    
     switch (event.keyCode) { 
         case 116 : //F5 button
             event.returnValue = false;
             event.keyCode = 0;
             return false; 
         case 82 : //R button
             if (event.ctrlKey) { 
                 event.returnValue = false; 
                 event.keyCode = 0;  
                 return false; 
             } 
     }
 }

Replace your .htaccess file with the below solution contents

Solution:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

# Set the “ea-php71” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php71 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>

use this one through composer:
composer create-project laravel/laravel

This is an older one I tried previously use the one above first:
composer create-project –prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog “5.8.*”
