Multiple routes in Symfony4 result in 404 error

Question

I started a fresh symfony 4.2 website project.

I have created two simple controllers rendering two views.

The first one localhost/ works fine, however the second one localhost/home results in 404 error.

I don't understand what happens, everything is very simple and based on official documentation.

routes.yaml file:

index:
    path: /
    controller: App\Controller\IntroController::introView

home:
    path: /home
    controller: App\Controller\HomeController::homeView

IntroController.php file:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class IntroController extends AbstractController
{
    public function introView()
    {
        return $this->render('intro.html.twig');
    }
}

HomeController.php file:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class HomeController extends AbstractController
{
    public function homeView()
    {
        return $this->render('home.html.twig');
    }
}

Answer 1

Maybe you forget to install apache pack?

Try this command inside your project folder

composer require symfony/apache-pack

This will configure your .htaccess file inside public folder. Basically, when you request localhost\home, your Apache will looks at /var/www/czyjestemladna/public/home, which don't exist on your computer. So this line from the .htaccess file

# Rewrite all other queries to the front controller.
RewriteRule ^ %{ENV:BASE}/index.php [L]

Will rewrite how Apache access the file, it will now call the index.php instead returning error 404
