Xampp localhost not working - laravel

I am running laravel on xampp and I have problem with accessing pages,
http://localhost/laravel/public/ I get a login page which is good
however when I go for example http://localhost/laravel/public/smokeyard
I get 404 error with The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
Route:
Route::get('smokeyard', 'GuzzleController#smokeyard');
Controller:
function smokeyard(){
return view('smokeyard');
}
All my views are located in resources folder.

if you want to access laravel project without running artisan serve, you need to change few settings,
copy the .htaccess file from the public folder and paste it in the root folder of your application
rename the server.php in the root directory to index.php
now go to localhost/your_project_name/smokeyard for the url you want to check
hope this helps

Run php artisan serve and access your server at http://localhost:8000. Your routes should work fine then.
You can't access your laravel application routes straight away through the folder structure with xampp. You need to setup the web root to point to the public folder and access localhost or run the laravel server and use it. This is because the url rewriting would fail when you access the routes in laravel the way you do.

I tried this in MX Linux 21.xx. My xampp got messed up after installing larvel on it.
check MySQL status with command
mysql service status
stop the service using the command
service mysql stop
you will be prompted to provide your password, Enter password.
start xampp using command
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
All should be back to normal

500 issue with Laravel

I have seen this answer in many posts but they have not helped me at all. I followed the regular steps to create the laravel project like this:
I cloned from my repository.
I ran composer update.
I added 777 permissions to storage and bootstrap folders.
I have a .env file.
I verfied the .htacces and it's ok.
It is working in locahost, but when I try to replicate it in Hostinger it does not work, it displays the 500 server error. So I wonder what is the problem?
I checked the logs by the way and they were empty. I put the laravel project debugger to true too.
the website url is xellin.com
The debug:
The logs folder:
Thanks.
I think this is a good opportunity to point out how PHP / Laravel / Underlying Server interacts one to each other.
First:
The HTTP server inspects Document Root and .htaccess to get instructions.
If the file is .php (like Laravel), then it CALLS to the php handler.
The php handler could be a FPM version or a Fast CGI version.
-> If an error ocurrs parsing the .htaccess or with the initial interaction between Http Server and PHP... Laravel never runs for real. All ends in a PHP error log
To find out what's wrong, you need to inspect what PHP / Http Server said about the error in their respective logs.
In short words: at this point is not a Laravel error, but a server/php one.
Second:
If Apache/PHP runs well, then PHP executes the Laravel Applicacion Lifecycle... if Laravel encounters a problem, then you will see the usual output error of Laravel Error Handler.
I think this is a must to know to work with web apps in general, because many times developers miss to catch if the problem was with Laravel, or with PHP / Server itself.
As a side note, that's why it is important to know how to choose propper hosting service for Laravel.
Thanks for reading.
You can try to clear cache
Like as
php artisan optimize
Or
You can manually delete cache files which is located in bootstrap folder and inside bootstrap folder you can see cache folder inside cache folder delete all files except git ignore file your issue fix
If you show again this error on live serve then tou can update your composer and then run
php artisan optimize
at first, if you give any of your folders 777 permissions, you are allowing ANYONE to read, write and execute any file in that directory.... what this means is you have given ANYONE (any hacker or malicious person in the entire world) permission to upload ANY file, virus or any other file, and THEN execute that file...so please be careful because IF YOU ARE SETTING YOUR FOLDER PERMISSIONS TO 777 YOU HAVE OPENED YOUR SERVER TO ANYONE THAT CAN FIND THAT DIRECTORY. please read the full explanation from here
the second here is the detailed steps I used to deploy my projects to the server:
run npm run production then update your github repo.
clone the project from GITHUB to server - clone to an outside folder (not public_html folder)
run cd <cloned folder name>
run composer install
run npm install
copy and configure .env file to cloned folder( be sure name is .env not env).
copy all content of cloned_project_folder_name/public to public_html folder
in index.php inside public_html folder edit as below
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../cloned_project_folder_name/bootstrap/app.php';
require __DIR__.'/../cloned_project_folder_name/vendor/autoload.php';
set your .htaccess properly.
change permission to 755 to index.php and all file in public_html folder
run composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
run php artisan config:cache
run php artisan route:cache
I think I state it all, hope that will help

How to remove "public/index.php" on server?

I m newly working on laravel.
I created laravel project named as "blog" on localhost and for removing public/index.php, I followed following process :
cut and pasted .htaccess from public/ folder to root i.e. blog
Renamed the server.php to index.php
Then I created a test api in api.php route and echoed "Hello World".
Now when I go to project path from my localhost server like:
localhost/Blog/api/test then its work properly.
But when I run same on a server like 192.101.111.555,like :
192.101.111.555/Blog/api/test then it showing NOT FOUND.
I am not getting how can I resolve this. And why its working fine on localhost but not working on server ?
You rename server.php but not recommend. This file copy then rename
Yes, if you have done those settings you will not be able to properly access on the localhost by running php artisan serve. So for this, you can install xampp and do the virtual host settings. Check more info at
How to enable Virtual Host on Xampp for Laravel?.
On the benefit of this is that you don't have to run the php artisan serve command again and again.

Laravel 5.3 sometimes return different 404 page

I'm trying to understand why my 404 page is not loading if I try to go under public folders.
When I'm trying to go assets folder. I'm getting this 404 page.
Make sure your views are placed inside resources/view folder.
When you run Laravel in your local PC or server, run it with administrative privileges (not a must be thing)
sudo php -S localhost:8888 -t public
This is what I use in Linux. I think you are missing something here.

How to run laravel 5.0 project on localhost without use php artisan serve

I have created a laravel 5.0 project with php artisan serve, now i need to know how to run laravel 5.0 project run without start php artisan serve, i have already browse lot of websites no one help me..
You need to change "server.php" to "index.php" then copy ".htaccess" from public to root directory.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30053989/3948755
Laravel sever Folder is "public". There is an index.php so you can run you project from there.
Suppose if you using UbuntuOS then you have to create your local server in public directory. Suppose your folder name is laravel_test then go in that directory and run some thing like this
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
If you using windows then access public folder from URL.
localhost/laravel/public
Actually it's bad practise to access folder from URL but for local its good. You also can go with host entry. Just make sure that your target folder is "public" directory.
Normally you would have WAMP/XAMPP installed. You can access Laravel project like below
localhost/laravel/public
But this is not recommended. You should create Virtual host for example
laravel.local that pints to server-root/laravel/public.
this is how you create virtual host.
Or even better go for a Laravel Homestead .
How is your .htaccess file configured?
Try with localhost/laravel/public/index.php
Use http://localhost/projectName/public
It will be work. but in case if you have another Route and you can not access that Route and get the error like " Page Not Found " then please use the following command
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Now open the http://localhost/projectName/public/yourRoute
This is a little late but still applicable, what I like to do (using ubuntu 14.x+) is put my laravel project (let's say Project1) in my var directory, so it would be in /var/Project1, then symlink the public folder to somewhere in /var/www(+/html depending on apache version).
Symlink can be done something like this:
ln -s /var/Project1/public /var/www/html
This keeps your internal files off the grid so to speak, this is untested so if I've missed anything just comment and I will amend this post.
EDIT:
Obviously if your http root is /var/www/html you can put your project in /var/www/Project1
If you have access to xampp or wampp on your operating system you can more or less configure your virtual host like in the instruction below:
https://bestin-it.com/creating-virtualhost-on-your-local-computer-to-start-simple-index-php/
This instruction shows how to run it locally on your PC, but it works generally the same on any hosting portals. In most case in payed portals you have any web panels to configure your public folder that reference to /public folder in laravel folder's structure.

Lumen not working out of the box

Just installed Lumen framework.
hit the link http://localhost/lumen/public/ in my browser and got this following error, anyone got any idea about it?
Traced it back to the app.php file in bootstrap folder.
if You want to access lumen project without "php artisan serve"
$app->run(); replace with
$request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture();
$app->run($request);
from this path yourlumenproject/public/index.php
Open your terminal in the root folder run the following command php artisan serve.
Lumen development server started on http://localhost:8000/
if you want to serve your app in local development you can do this :
php -S localhost:8000 -t public/
and it will serve in localhost in port 8000. hope this help.
Note : I'm using Laravel Framework version Lumen (5.2.4) (Laravel Components 5.2.*)
At the moment Lumen only runs in the domain root.
(I've submitted a PR that fixes this but it has yet to be merged)
You have to create a Virtual Host on your local webserver and point the document root of that to the public directory. After that you can access your app with something like: http://lumen.dev.
Guide for Virtual Hosts with nginx
Guide for Virtual Hosts with Apache
A simple alternative to setting this up manually is Laravel Homestead. It is an official Vagrant box made for Laravel, that allows you to easily get your development environment up and running.
