Answer 1

I had this error and i just pasted the http://127.0.0.1:8000/ directly into the url bar. you get the below when you type : php laravel serve

i was putting in localhost/http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to get the error you mentioned.

If you have tried all .htaccess answers from comments and none of them worked, it's possible that actually you have bad APP_URL in you .env config file. That worked for me.

Answer 3

It was solved for me with the Laravel default public/.htaccess file adding an extra line:

The /public/.htaccess file remains as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On
    DirectoryIndex index.php # This line does the trick

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

I had the same problem and builded a .htaccess file to fix this issue with a few more improvements. You can use it as it is, just download it from Github Gist and change the filename "public/index.php" to "public/app.php" and see how it works! :)

Answer 5

With me the problem appeared to be about the fact that there was no index.php file in the public_html folder. When I typed in this address however: http://azxcvfj.org/public , it worked (this address is just an example. It points to nowhere). This made me think and eventually I solved it by doing the following.

I made a .htaccess file in the app's root folder (the public_html folder) with this contents:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ public/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

And this worked. With this file you are basically saying to the server (Apache) that whenever someone is trying to access the public html folder(http://azxcvfj.org) that someone who is being redirected is redirected to http://azxcvfj.org/public/index.php

I met the same issue, then I do same as the solution of @lubat and my project work well. :D My virtualhost configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName laravelht.vn
     DocumentRoot D:/Lavarel/HTPortal/public
     SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
     <Directory D:/Lavarel/HTPortal/public>
         DirectoryIndex index.php
         AllowOverride All
         Require all granted
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>
