Answer 1

Put this htaccess into public folder. make sure you have apache mod rewrite working.

<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>

i saw in routes.php

Route::get('/events', [
        'uses' => 'EventController@viewEvent', 
        'as' => 'event'
    ]);

But u run

localhost/laravel/event  

Should run

localhost/laravel/events
