Answers.Text: Got it, that worked. I moved the public files out to the my main server folder getting rid of the /public/ string, so that was the last piece I was missing. Thanks!

Title: URL Redirect Not Working

  Seems like I can't get the base install URL to work. To get Craft to show posts I have to format the URL as,
  
  ```
  /public/index.php?p=news/2015/we-just-installed-craft
  
  ```
  
  Instead of just the `/news/2015/we-just-installed-craft`
  
  I think the `.htaccess` is getting read because after putting in garbage the server did error out when I used the /public/ URL but not sure what else I'm doing wrong or how I could troubleshoot this.

  Try setting ['usePathInfo' => true](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#usePathInfo) and ['omitScriptNameInUrls' => true](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#omitScriptNameInUrls) in your `craft/config/general.php` file.

  I was having this issue and got it fixed by doing the following
  
  Note: I am using Ubuntu
  
  1. Assume `apache2` is installed
  2. Run `sudo a2enmod rewrite`
  3. Ensure `Options FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch` is within your virtualhost `<directory>` config
  4. Run `sudo service apache2 restart`
  
  Hope this helps!
