Laravel - route leading to a closure

Question

I am not new to MVC, but am new to Laravel. I have managed to install it on Windows 8.1 with WAMP. I go to the root URL ( http://localhost/public/ ) and get the Laravel logo and the 'You have arrived.' line of text.

Now I want to play around a bit, the documentation tells me that the code below should work.

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the Closure to execute when that URI is requested.
|
*/

Route::get('/', function()
{
    return View::make('hello');
});

Route::get('users', function () {
    return 'users!';
});

I should get the text users when I navigate to http://localhost/public/users instead I get a 404. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Your code in route file should be like this

Route::get('/users', function () {
    return 'users!';
});

Give it a try!
