I just made a new instance on AWS EC2. I have an existing laravel project, pushed it on github and installed it on my new instance. Also installed composer, php, mysql, apache. And when I hit the public url, laravel redirects me to public/auth/login. On my localhost everything is fine, but here it givesme an error 404 - Not Found The requested URL /auth/login was not found on this server.. I have installed before my laravel projects in AWS but never experienced such an error. What could have gone wrong?

    So you mean your url is `http://yourdomain.com/public`? If that's the case, you need to change the HTTP server's Document Root to point to the `public` directory of your application. Your URL paths should not contain `public` within them. – Bogdan Mar 08 '16 at 22:40
  • I pointed it right in the public directory and still gives me an error. – Alex Mar 09 '16 at 07:13

Everything was from the .htaccess file. I added AllowOverride All and everything is ok now!

  • Instead of modifying the .htaccess file on the public folder, you can just update your virtual host configuration file (e.g. /etc/apache2/site-available/00-default.conf) – Praditha Jul 18 '18 at 08:35

    I'm having this exact same problem. How does your .htaccess file look? Where did you add AllowOverride All? – Kevin Glick May 08 '20 at 20:13

If you are using apache server then do the following

  1. Go to your apache2.conf file, For example in ubuntu the path is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
  2. Paste the following code by making suitable modifiction
<Directory /var/www/the_root_of_your_laravel_project_where_index.php_exists/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Assuming you are using default Amazon Linux, you can edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and set DocumentRoot "<your path to your app>/public" then restart Apache with sudo service httpd restart.

  • I am running Ubuntu, but I already did this yesterday. And the problem remained unsolved. So what I did: `cd /etc/apache2/sites-available` `sudo nano 000-default.conf` -> chaged it to: `DocumentRoot /var/www/html/BlueDrive_1/drive/public` – Alex Mar 09 '16 at 06:55
