Question

I'm a beginner in frame work Laravel, I'm using Laravel 5.3 - I created a new project - laravel-. - It run fine on URL "http://localhost/laravel/public/" - I added a new route called "home" in web.php file as:

<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('/home', function () {
    return 'This is home.';
});

I tested "http://localhost/laravel/public/home" but it return

Not Found The requested URL /laravel/public/home was not found on this server.

Where is the problem? thank you.

You're using wrong configuration. You should point web server to a public directory:

DocumentRoot "/path_to_laravel_project/public"
<Directory "/path_to_laravel_project/public">

And then use normal URLs like:

http://localhost
http://localhost/home

In development phase the easy way around is using "php artisan serve" command. After you deploy the project, you should configure your server's document root as Alexey suggested.

try

Route::get('/home', function () {
    return 'This is home.';
});

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Also call it like

http://localhost/laravel/home

Changing the .env.example file in the root project folder to .env worked for me.

Then generate a new APP_KEY using php artisan key:generate
