So, in Laravel you must assign every route. This's very different from previous frameworks (like CI). In case of you, just:

Route::get('user', 'PagesController@userPage');

In routes.php

PagesController is class controller and userPage is method of PagesController class. Make sure it's loaded.

Sr my english (very bad) ^^

Thanks anhsaker, that does help a bit, but not the main issue.

I've been digging through more, and I found that I can get to those other routes: Route::get('user', 'PagesControllers@userPage'); but only if I add the index.php before it. So, the URL would look like example.com/index.php/user.

Just to first clarify, yes mod_rewrite is enabled. Here is my htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Just out of curiosity , in your Apache httpd.conf. Do you have this line setup? Where index.php is set?

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>

awsp, I have a line similar to that,

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

I added the index.php, restarted my server, but it's still not working. Should I add the syntax that you have, being the IfModule... statment?

   DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

I had the same issue, after a lot of search I found it was a typo in my .conf file (the <Directory /var/www/mywebsite/public>) contained a typo and I overlooked it for a dozen times, eventually with copy and paste I saw the typo

Not shure, but i think you need to set AllowOverrides. I had the same problem using a virtual host, where i forgot to set AllowOverride All in the directory directive. To check if your htaccess file is really being triggert put a redirect right behind

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Redirect 301 / https://google.com
...

If google does not show up in your browser, your htaccess file is not being triggert. So in your httpd.conf change

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

this to

<Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

hope that'll help you.

Thanks DavidDomain!!!!! This solved my problem

For anyone else that runs into this problem, not having mod_rewrite enabled will also cause this same issue.

small tip. consider using Homestead. it's very easy to set up virtual hosts.

Yea this is pretty much a rewrite issue. Its not enough to enable mod_rewrite on Apache. The AllowOverride in the config has to be set appropriately most of the time.
