php - SymfonyComponentHttpKernelExceptionNotFoundHttpException Laravel

Question

I am trying to use RESTful controller. Here is my Route.php:

Route::resource('test', 'TestController');
Route::get('/', function()
{
    return View::make('hello');
});

Here is my TestController.php

<?php
class TestController extends BaseController {

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
            return View::make('test.home');
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
            //
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function store()
    {
            //
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function show($id)
    {
            //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
            //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function update($id)
    {
            //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
            //
    }
}

My app route is localhost/Test/public/ and it shows "You have arrived" message. But when I tried localhost/Test/public/test It gives me "SymfonyComponentHttpKernelExceptionNotFoundHttpException"

Here is my log:

[2014-05-11 14:29:59] production.ERROR: NotFoundHttpException Route: `http://localhost/Test/public/test` [] []

I know this question has been asked many times. I had gone through many relevant threads but just can not figure out the solution.

Answer 1

A NotFoundHttpException exception in Laravel always means that it was not able to find a router for a particular URL. And in your case this is probably a problem in your web server configuration, virtual host (site) configuratio, or .htaccess configuration.

Your public/.htaccess should look like this:

<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 ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

As you can see there is a condition in the first line IfModule mod_rewrite.c, so if you don`t have mode_rewrite installed or enabled, all rewrite rules will fail and this

localhost/Test/public/

Will work fine, but not this:

localhost/Test/public/test

In other hand, this one should work too, because this is its raw form:

localhost/Test/public/index.php/test

Because Laravel needs it to be rewritten to work.

And note that you should not be using /public, your URLs should look like this:

localhost/Test/

This is another clue that your virtual host's document root is not properly configured or not pointing to /var/www/Test/public, or whatever path your application is in.

All this assuming you are using Apache 2.
