Do you see your homepage or all pages are as 404 ?

Have you configured your web server appropriately? If not so which one do you use Nginx or Apache

Getting the same issue here, everything was running fine, adding new routes as i progressed and now all of a sudden the new routes are not being run. Even putting the route right at the top of the routes file does not run. If you run a:

php artisan routes

the route exists.

Got it sorted with a

php composer.phar update

Both woogygun and guiden, think it's useful if you paste the relevant code so we can take a look at it. Use http://bin.laravel.io for that.

To me it sounds like a .htaccess-like problem, or the server not 'pointing' to /public, mod_rewrite not active.

Dayle has some examples for apache, nginx and lighttpd on his Github repo

1 Open httpd.conf

    sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

2 Make sure the DocumentRoot is pointing to the laravel project's public directory 3 Add the Directory element for that path and Allowoverride All... as follows

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/laravel/public/"

<Directory "/var/www/html/laravel/public">
Allowoverride All
</Directory>

4 Open .htaccess from ../laravel/public/ and make sure it has the following

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

RewriteEngine On

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

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

5 Restart httpd services

sudo service httpd restart

6 Now http://DomainServer/users will work in your browser.

The thing with mine is that the '/' route is working but the others aren't ... why is that?

check if rewrite is working

how to check that

I just ran the command sudo a2enmod rewrite and restarted apache but still no good

same problem here, '/' route is working but the others not work ! why ?

Make sure your .htaccess file is copied into your documentroot directory.

I was following instruction by @pescadosmith my localhost is perfectly work when I am going to request URL or routes is not exist. the solved is to put add .000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
	
	
	ServerName www.van-vlymen.com
	ServerAlias van-vlymen.com
	
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/vanvlymen/public
	
	<Directory /var/www/html/vanvlymen/public>
		Allowoverride All
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

	
</VirtualHost>

inside the etc/apache2/000-default.conf.

it seems working now thanks you so much for added this!

much love

My routes were working for months and then suddenly I started getting 404 for every route, except the root one

<Directory "/var/www/html/laravel/public">
Allowoverride All
</Directory>

Adding this to apache2.conf solved the problem for me

This work for me too

did you get this sorted out?

also php mcrypt is required for laravel to work correctly.

if you are using homestead for local development then all that is taken care of.

I also think you should be using Nginx. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/apache-vs-nginx-practical-considerations

in my opinion, its way easier to setup and i remember having a lot less problems with it. apache has its strengths, but for the things i currently do i dont see any benefits.

Spot on! Thanks!

lol i dont usually reply but thanks alot

2 second check before doing the above, make sure you run

as this rebuilds the static file

I too just needed to enable mod rewrite. Thanks!

This saves my day. Thanks @johnathansantos

Maybe you created a route with the same uri,
