href link is not working in laravel

Question

i'm trying to build a hyperlink from index.blade.php to login.blade.php by route. i defined a named route for this hyperlink but is not working.

here is my route code.

Route::get('/','HomeController@index');
Route::get('/login', 'HomeController@login_page')->name('login');

and here is my controller.

  public function login_page()
{
  return view('login');
}

and here is my view where i'm trying to set a hyperlink.

    <li><a href="{{route('login')}}">Log-in</a></li>

Does it give an error? Does the URL look correct? "Not working" is the broadest issue out there, like going to the doctor and saying "Something hurts" but not pointing out if it's a finger, toe, or throat. — aynber, Oct 23 '17 at 20:14
Also, I don't think you need `Route::get('/login'`, it can just be `Route::get('login'` — Sensoray, Oct 23 '17 at 20:14
replace `return view('login');` with `return "test login !!";` to see if it will hit the method ! — Maraboc, Oct 23 '17 at 20:15
This looks like a server config issue, not a Laravel one. Show us how you're routing your traffic to index.php (https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/installation#web-server-configuration) — ceejayoz, Oct 23 '17 at 20:22

Set URL link in a menu link using Laravel blade template, use it {{url('dashboard')}}. Use this link in the for example:

<ul>
  <li>
    <a href="{{url('dashboard')}}" class="active">Dashboard</a>
  </li>
</ul>

I think it will be helpful for you.

Your error message points to a server problem, not Laravel.

Make sure you'r mod_rewrite for apache is installed and enabled.

a2enmod rewrite
service apache2 restart

Then check your Laravel with:

In your console, run: php artisan route:list and see if you have a row similar to:

| Domain | Method   | URI        | Name          | Action                                            | Middleware                  |
+--------+----------+------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------+
|        | GET|HEAD | login      | login         | App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@login_page    | web,guest                   |

If you do not see the login part, try clearing route's cache with:

php artisan route:clear

Other than that, you are doing everything properly.

I had the same problem (Ubuntu 18.04), it does not seem to be Laravel but Apache.

Workaround: Install Xampp and use it as Localhost.
