Laravel 4 All Routes Except Home Result in 404 Error

Question

I installed Laravel 4 using Composer and also set up a virtual host. Currently, only the root route is working:

<?php  Route::get('/', function() {     return View::make('hello'); }); 

This is not:

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

What I'm trying to hit is TasksController at /tasks:

Route::resource('tasks', 'TasksController'); 

This is giving me 404 error as well. What could I be doing wrong? I have a default .htaccess file at the root of my project:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     Options -MultiViews     RewriteEngine On     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] </IfModule> 

I am using localhost on a Mac.

Answer 1

Just for a laugh, see if /index.php/hello works.

If so, then most likely it's a .htaccess problem.

Answer 2

Had the same problem running Laravel 4 on WAMP (Windows 8).
The solution that worked for me was:

1. Open apache httpd.conf and find this line :

   #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so 

2. Uncomment this line (remove the #)
3. Save httpd.conf
4. Restart WAMP

It should be working!
