Laravel App not running on xampp or live server but works well on php artisan serve
My laravel app does not work on xampp or a live server but it works fine on the link provided by PHP artisan serve. Whenever I run this app on xampp it returns 404 error. I have other laravel apps also which work fine on xampp but this one. I am unable to find any solution to it that why my laravel is not running on a hosted server or xampp. I have tried all the solutions found in related questions but did not find any of those useful.
- I have tried running the app after changing my existing .htaccess file in the root folder.
- I have tried running the app after changing .htaccess file in public folder.
- I have tried running the app after deleting both and one of them.
- I have tried installing and updating the dependencies again using composer.
What should I do to make it running?
What I see when I try to run it through xampp is the errors, but the folder structure that always occurs when one runs a web app through it.
Right now, I have a single htaccess file which is in my root folder. Below is the code of it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Error I am getting when I run the App on xampp
Laravel App current folder structure
Solution
I've ran into this problem too. I've done some research and the only way I found possible to run Laravel on xampp was the following:
- In the parent folder of the laravel setup, I created a folder called "laravel" and moved everything inside of it.
- I went in laravel/public and took every file out of it, and I put it in the parent directory, resulting in the following folder structure: (in my htdocs)
|-.htaccess |-favicon.ico |-index.php |-robots.txt |-web.config \---laravel
- Go in index.php and change the code lines where it's loading files to load files from the new path instead (for example):
if (file_exists(__DIR__.'/laravel/storage/framework/maintenance.php')) { require __DIR__.'/laravel/storage/framework/maintenance.php'; }
- Start apache and check localhost and it should work.
