Composer setup-config.php not found

Question

I'm trying to install WordPress on my localhost with composer. When I go to localhost I get redirected to localhost/wp-admin/setup-config.php. Instead of getting the install I'm getting the error The requested URL /wp-admin/setup-config.php was not found on this server. When i go to localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php it works? What am I doing wrong?

This is my directory tree :

-- .git
-- .gitignore
-- composer.json
-- composer.lock
-- vendor

-- htdocs
----- index.php
----- wp-content
----- wordpress
----- wp-config

In the htdocs/index.php I have this

define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require( dirname ( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' );

And in my htdocs/wp-config I edited this :

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/wordpress');
define('WP_HOME',    'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-content');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/wp-content');

Your WordPress is installed under the localhost/wordpress/ instead of localhost/. If you are running your WordPress for the first time, point your url to localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php so that the correct path can be setup by the WordPress.
