How to host Laravel application in a sufolder along with normal php application?

I have a laravel application and a normal application. I want the normal application to run when user opens example.com/ but when the user opens example.com/laravel_application/ I want the laravel application to run. How can I achieve this. I tried various methods like creating symlinks but I seem to be always redirected to root directory (example.com/) e.g. when I open example.com/laravel_application/login
I am open to using apache or nginx.

example.com/

example.com/laravel_application/

example.com/

example.com/laravel_application/login

It's easier to add a subdomain for Laravel app. Otherwise, you will have to create Laravel routes based on the example.com/laravel_app path.

There are two solutions:

Create .htaccess file on sub-folder where you put your laravel application.

and add the code in .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]


You can add a index.php file containing the following code and put it under your root Laravel folder.

<?php
header('Location: public/');

<?php

header('Location: public/');

?>

?>
