What is the error that you get?

I get a "Whoops, looks like something went wrong." error page

Enable debugging in app/config/app.php (or in the relevant environment folder) and then try again, line 16, switch from false to true. During development you should enable debugging for error messages.

If you have two routes with the same URL you could get conflict between those routes.

If you try to use:

Route::get('/', function() { return 'Hello World 007'; });

You need to comment the following route:

Route::get('/', 'AlbumsController@index');

Because you are overlapping the action of the first closure function with the index action of the AlbumsController.

Hope it helps you.

I just installed Laravel and faced this issue. Changing my controller function to 'public static ' solved this issue for me. :)
