Routing with index file laravel 5.4

Question

I'm trying to setup my laravel project but I cant seem to get routing to work. This is my routes/web.php: Route::post('test','UserController@test'); Route::resource('/','UserController');

Now my / works. The functions in it work, but Laravel says my test does not exist. I get a 404 error.

In my / index I have a form like this:

<form method="POST" action="test">

It goes from laravel/public/ to laravel/public/test. But apparently laravel/public/test gives back a 404 error. I tried to fix it with: Route::post('/test','UserController'); but it gives the same error. The only 2 differencex with the documentation that I see is that I'm working from / which shouldnt make a difference(?) and that I'm not working directly from localhost/ but with some maps where I stored my project. Which shouldnt make a difference either. What am I doing wrong here?

EDIT:

My controller:

class UserController extends Controller{

   public function index()
   {
      return view('testindex');
   }

   public function test(){
      return 'test';
   }
}

You should define an action in the second case. Like `Route::post('test','UserController@test')` — Can Vural, Mar 01 '17 at 09:25
if '/' works and nothing else does ... sounds kinda like a rewrite issue — lagbox, Mar 01 '17 at 09:33

You should then fix it by one of the following:

   public function postTest(){
      return 'test';
   }

or in routes/web.php

Route::post('test','UserController@test');

I did that but it didnt fix it for me. – Loko Mar 01 '17 at 09:27
ok. So is it a Laravel 404 or a server 404? If it's the latter, then make sure your url-rewriting is setup properly – Unamata Sanatarai Mar 01 '17 at 09:28
It's a server 404 – Loko Mar 01 '17 at 09:29

You're using wrong web server settings. You need to point web server to the public directory inside Laravel root and use correct settings.

For Apache:

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

For nginx:

root /path_to_laravel_project/public;

This did not fix it for me though. – Loko Mar 01 '17 at 10:05
@Loko you're doing something wrong. It's definitely a web server problem. Check the other settings. – Alexey Mezenin Mar 01 '17 at 13:03
If I go to `index.php/test`, it works. I had to rewrite – Loko Mar 01 '17 at 13:05
@Loko if you see `index.php` or `public` in URI, you're doing it wrong. Search for normal config file and point web server to the `public` directory. – Alexey Mezenin Mar 01 '17 at 13:08
