How do I fix the Laravel page not found error? - laravel

Question

After registering, it redirects to / home. But I get a 404 error. When I set the route to / home, I get 302 continuous routing errors.
RegisterController.php
use RegistersUsers;
protected $redirectTo = '/';
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
Route.php
Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);
Route::get('/', 'HomeController#index')->name('home');
HomeController
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function index()
{
return view('home');
}
}

Answer 1

if you have in your HomeController's construct a middleware that requires the user to be logged in then what you are getting is normal.
You should have a login page wich use the "guest" middleware.
or
login the user automatically once he registers before redirecting him to your home route.
Auth::login($user)
//or
Auth::loginUsingId($userId);

Answer 2

Remove guest middleware.
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
Your HomeController should look like
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function index()
{
return view('home');
}
}
your route.php Look like
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController#index')->name('home');
RegisterController should look like
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
| validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to
| provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.
|
*/
use RegistersUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after registration.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/home';
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* #param array $data
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* #param array $data
* #return \App\User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
}
}
make sure you're following laravel authentication.
