Did you restart the server after enabling mod_rewrite?

Yes :)

Anyone?

Without having full knowledge of your configuration...

My Apache (Ubuntu based) config has the following

.htaccess Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

mysite.conf file (for Apache) <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName mysite.dev DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/mysite/public <Directory "/var/www/laravel/mysite/public"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>

These settings are above and beyond that which you stated you have already verified being the mod_rewrite option.

Hopefully these notes will help you. I use the above for several domains on my local and production servers for virtual hosting.

Found the answer babies;

public directory is supposed to have a .htaccess file which my app was missing!

So I did this in terminal:

bash-3.2# touch .htaccess

bash-3.2# vim .htaccess 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Thanks
