NotFoundHttpException for Controller route in Laravel 4 - laravel

Question

I am trying to get started using controllers in Laravel 4 and I am running into some trouble. Here is the basic run down:
I have a controller in the controllers folder called FansController in the file FansController.php:
<php
class FansController extends BaseController {
public $restful = true
public function getindex() {
return View::make('fans.landing');
}
}
Within my views folder, I have a folder called "fans" that controls a view file "landing.blade.php". It contains simple html: <h1>hello</h1>
In my routes.php file, I have a route calling the controller. Here is that code:
Route::get('landing', array('uses' => 'FansController#index'));
When I visit the url: public/fans/landing
I receive a "NotFoundHttpException";
Do you have any ideas what may be going wrong? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

First off you need to specify what version of Laravel you are running.
If you are running Laravel 4 then:
// routes.php
Route::get('/', array('uses' => 'GuestController#getIndex'));
// GuestController.php
class GuestController extends BaseController {
public function getIndex() {
return 'Hello world.';
}
}
Then run $ composer dump-autoload -o or php composer.phar dump-autoload -o (if your composer is installed locally) on your CLI
In laravel 3, however
// routes.php
Route::get('/', array('uses' => 'GuestController#index'));
// GuestController.php
class GuestController extends BaseController {
public $restful = true;
public function get_index() {
return 'Hello world.';
}
}

Probably you need to change your method name to index:
class FansController extends BaseController {
public $restful = true
public function index() {
return View::make('fans.landing');
}
}
