set the "document root" to the public folder inside your project

If you don't want to muck around with your web server settings, you can use the built-in PHP server but dropping to the command line and running:

Code:

> php serve.php

This will start up the local server which you can access at http://localhost:8080, and will handle basic URL rewriting so that things behave as you would expect them to under Apache or nginx.
