How to hide config files from direct access?

You’re using wrong web server configuration. Point your web server to a public directory and restart it.

For Apache you can use these directives:

DocumentRoot "/path_to_laravel_project/public"
<Directory "/path_to_laravel_project/public">

For nginx, you should change this line:

root /path_to_laravel_project/public;

After doing that, all Laravel files will not be accessible from browser anymore.
