rewite rule for remove folder

[eluser]neosable[/eluser]
Hi,

I want :
mysite/public/img/logo.png

to be
mysite/img/logo.png

I am trying this but shows a 500 error page

Code:

RewriteRule ^/img/(.*)$ /public/img/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

this is not hard but I can't make it work

Try experimenting with removing the leading forward slashes from the rewrite rules.

Something like this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^img/(.*)$ public/img/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

[eluser]neosable[/eluser]
for some reason only shows error if I put 2 or more rewriteRules

complete code :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^img/(.*)$ public/img/$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

any idea why?
