Routes Error

robhowdle

Hi all, recently installed this locally on my machine before upload to my server but I’m having an issue with the links to the login and register page. In the URL I’ve got localhost/directory_name/file_name.

Register for example is going to localhost/Directory_Name/account/register which I think is right that is returning a 404 error. If I take account account so it is just directory_name/register then that works but I can’t seem to change the buttons to that. I did some research and people have said about the HT access file, well with me working locally I don’t think that is really applicable so is there a way for me to fix this for local working?

Using Window OS and Xampp curerntly

Thanks!
Rob

Anybody got any suggestions? Still stuck on this issue…

Sorry that no one replied Rob - I’ve no experience with Xampp so I left this for someone who has. You should look at config/app.php and see if ‘url’ is incorrect there.

I have had this issue before. I have changed the app.php file with zero affect. My thinking is that perhaps there is cache that gets moved to a new server but does not get recreated because its timestamp is too recent.

We need a Clear Cache menu option in the System menu as when the site is hosted we don’t generally get access to a command line to run the artisan command to clear the cache.

There is a cache dashboard widget which has a clear button associated with it.
