Error My Routes are Returning a 404 in Laravel

Question

How to fix this error?

I've created a new controller called kartik:

class User_Controller extends Base_Controller {

    public $restful = true;

    public function get_index() 
    {
        return View::make('kartik.index');
    }
}

I've created a view file in application/views/user/ called index.php with some basic HTML code, and in routes.php I've added the following:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return View::make('home.index');
});

Route::get('kartik', function () {
    return View::make('kartik.index');
});

The first route works fine when visiting the root (http://localhost/mysite/public) in my web browser, but when I try to go to my second route with http://localhost/mysite/public/kartik I get a 404 Not Found error. 

How to solve? Thank you!!

Hii @kartik

Routes

Use them to define specific routes that aren't managed by controllers.

Controllers

Use them when you want to use traditional MVC architecture

I think Solution to your problem

You don't register controllers as routes unless you want a specific 'named' route for a controller action.

Rather than create a route for your controllers actions, just register your controller:

Route::controller('user');

Now your controller is registered, you can navigate to http://localhost/mysite/public/user and your get_index will be run.

You can also register all controllers in one go:

Route::controller(Controller::detect());

Hope this works fine

Thank You!

hello niroj

Using Laravel to generate pages, and Angular to call REST, on Windows the call to api/branches worked, but on linux, I had to change this url like : index.php/api/branches Any way to resolve this to have the same urls ?

Hello @ Arpit

Place .htaccess file from public/ folder to the root of project, then you can access by http://localhost/mysite/user
