Laravel MAMP Setup

Here's how I setup Laravel on MAMP:

1. Add a .htaccess file to the root of the application with the following rules:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine on

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

2. Added the following line somewhere in public/index.php:

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'localhost') !== false)
{
	$_SERVER['LARAVEL_ENV'] = 'local';
}
else
{
	$_SERVER['LARAVEL_ENV'] = 'production';
}

3. Create the application/config/local directory

4. Create the application/config/local/application.php file and put the following in it:

<?php

return array(

	'url' => 'http://localhost:8888/_app_name_'

);

Not working here to. Using the last version of Laravel and XAMPP on Windows 7.

Actually I've made some tests and this work but the "index.php" stay in the URL. I've already erased the the "index.php" line in the application.php but it is not working.

Edit:

To anyone using XAMPP on Windows and don't want to alter the vhosts file this is the solution: http://forums.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?pid=17223#p17223

This all helped. Also, had to change the following permissions:

chmod -R 777 storage
