Laravel not showing index.php

Question

I'm new in Laravel, I made virtual host http://example.com and installed Laravel in folder of this domain but when I try to access this domain I get this

Answer 1

This is your VirtualHost setup

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/example" ## <-- pointed to wrong folder
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com 
    ErrorLog "logs/www.example.com.domain-error.log"
</VirtualHost>

You didn't point it to the public folder. It should be (These are minimum requirements)

<VirtualHost *.80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/example/public"
    ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>

You should point it to the public folder because index.php is inside public folder.

I use this kind of setup

<VirtualHost laravel4.dev>
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel4/public"
    ServerName laravel4.dev
</VirtualHost>

Corresponding setup in windows/system32/drivers/etc/host file is

127.0.0.2           ci.dev
127.0.0.3           laravel4.dev ## <-- This is for current vHost
127.0.0.4           symcom.dev

So, I can navigate to my site on local host using http://laravel4.dev (dev for development)
