I\'ve been trying for a few hours to install Laravel 4 and make the Virtual Hosts and Routing work but so far I\'ve been unlucky. I\'m mentioning that I\'m doing this on a <

Answer 1

Try turning on AllowOverride All on the directory by changing your VirtualHost to:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/laravel/public"
    ServerName laravel.dev
    ServerAlias www.laravel.dev
    <Directory "c:/wamp/www/laravel/public">
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Answer 2

I have gone through the same issue and followed the all the treatments given above but virtual host can not be set.

When I inspected file http.conf then I found that inclusion of file httpd-vhosts.conf was commented as given below. Make sure to include httpd-vhosts.conf in httpd.conf.

#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

I have removed the # comment. Restarted the wamp and it was working.

Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

If the htaccess file that you posted was in your /public/ folder, then that's why you're getting a 500 internal server error. That htaccess file was made for the folder that the /public/ folder is in. But since your public folder is the document root, you don't need it.

The htaccess file in the /public/ folder should look like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

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

(for WAMP).
