Answer 1

I had a problem with non-www website URL version - the PUT method has been not working. But when entering the website with www. - it works fine!

Answer 2

Create and put this .htaccess file in your laravel installation(root) folder.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 3

On public/.htaccess edit to

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

          RewriteEngine On

          # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
          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>

In the root of the project add file

Procfile

File content

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public/

Reload the project to Heroku

bash
heroku login
cd my-project/
git init
heroku git:remote -a my project
git add .
git commit -am "make it better"
git push heroku master
heroku open

Answer 4

For those who using Mamp or Mamp pro:

Open MAMP Pro
Click on “Hosts”
Click on “Extended” (UPDATE: Only if you are using MAMP Pro 3.0.6)
Check “Indexes”
Click “Save”
That’s it! Reload your localhost starting page and it should work properly.

Answer 5

This is solved my problem by adding this line:

DirectoryIndex index.php

Answer 6

For me this was simply calling route() on a named route that I had not created/created incorrectly. This caused the Forbidden error page.

Restarting the web server allowed proper Whoops! error to display:

Route [my-route-name] not defined.

Fixing the route name ->name('my-route-name') fixed the error.

This is on Laravel 5.5 & using wampserver.
