Index page of the application is working properly. but I am getting the following error messages when accessing other pages.

Error 404: Not Found File not found

phpdesktop doesn't have apache server to enable mod_rewrite to solve this issue. How to overcome this issue? Plz guide.

Answer 1

for laravel, you need to change www_directory, point it towards "www/public"

"web_server": {
    "listen_on": ["127.0.0.1", 0],
    "www_directory": "www/public",
    "index_files": ["index.html", "index.php"],
    "cgi_interpreter": "php/php-cgi.exe",
    "cgi_extensions": ["php"],
    "cgi_temp_dir": "",
    "404_handler": "/pretty-urls.php",
    "hide_files": []
},

Answer 2

phpDesktop 57 is currently using php 7.1.x if you want to run latest version of the laravel then just download the required version of php from official website and delete all the files and folder from the php folder inside phpDesktop except php.ini and put all the downloaded files and folder of php in php directory then you will be able to run laravel application inside phpDesktop.
