I have following directory structure on my local LAMP:


www

basic

app

router.php

public

index.html
.htaccess





and I can access my index page with localhost/basic/public/ and I am not using any virtual hosts.

Now I am trying to do two things:


Instead of localhost/basic/public/ URL should look like
localhost/basic/ to access homepage.
All requests to /api/ should be redirected to router.php. For
example if I make a request like /api/user/login it should go to
app/router.php where I can execute specific code according to
request for API.


To achieve this I was trying do something like following in .htaccess file but its not working:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/api/ [NC]
RewriteRule . ../app/router.php [NC,L]


Also I am not sure if we can use relative paths in RewriteRule.
