problem in delete from pivot table in laravel - laravel

Question

i have a problem in delete an order:
here the form where press on cancel to delete the order:
<form action="{{route('user.orders.delete', $order->id)}}" method="POST"
onsubmit="return confirm('Are you sure?');">
#method('DELETE')
#csrf
<button
type="submit" class="mt-8 mb-4 py-2 px-14 rounded-full
bg-red-900 text-white tracking-widest hover:bg-blue-800
transition duration-200">
Cancel
</button>
</form>
this is my router:
Route::delete('user/orders/delete/{order}', [OrderController::class, 'delete'])->name('user.orders.delete');
OrderController : delete function:
public function delete(Order $order)
{
try {
unlink(public_path().'/storage/orders/files/'.$order->file);
$order->delete();
}catch(\Exception $e) {
return redirect()->back()-with('status', 'you cannot delete this item');
}
return redirect()->back()->with('status', 'product deleted succefully');
}
so when click on the button (cancel) just go to the right url : when 21 is the order id
http://127.0.0.1:8000/user/orders/delete/21
and it is just not found page!!! and nothing deleted!!!

Answer 1

i think your app routes is cached
try to run the fallowing command (in cmd or terminal) to see all the routes, this will show registered routes and errors if exist:
php artisan route:list
if the route doesnt exist in route list, the route list may be cached. try the fallowing command to clear route cache:
php artisan route:clear
and then run app and test the route.
If you do not have another problem in coding or naming variables, the program will be fixed properly
*if all o the above is ok, it seems your apache config is not configure to delete request(for route delete method ) and you must change .htaccess requests LIMIT like the fallowing sample to Grant delete request :
<Limit GET POST PUT DELETE>
Allow from all
</Limit>
As you can see the DELETE method(request) has been added to .htaccess
