Laravel5 make:auth doesn't work

Question

I used the command make:auth and it showed:

Created View: /var/www/myblog/resources/views/auth/login.blade.php
Created View: /var/www/myblog/resources/views/auth/register.blade.php
Created View: /var/www/myblog/resources/views/auth/passwords/email.blade.php

Created View: /var/www/myblog/resources/views/home.blade.php
Created View: /var/www/myblog/resources/views/welcome.blade.php
Installed HomeController.
Updated Routes File.
Authentication scaffolding generated successfully!

It looks like great and I got a homepage showing up correctly. see picture here

But when I was trying to access Login and Register page, something went wrong. It gave me errors like:

Not Found

The requested URL /login was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at ...

and I typed php artisan route:list in terminal I got this:

It's a bit different from what I expect. Cuz from what I learned in laracast.com, the route list should be like "Auth\\login" instead of merely "login"... Idk what's going wrong here, is it because I'm using apache? or other configurations I didn't set up correctly... Looking for help

Also another question: when I access www.mydomain.com, I'd expect the default welcome page instead of auth's home page but actually it gives me the auth's home page instead. But when I was trying to access www.mydomain.com/home which I expect to see that home page again, instead I received 404 not found errors which confused me a lot. here is my routes.php:

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Routes File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you will register all of the routes in an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.
|
*/

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This route group applies the "web" middleware group to every route
| it contains. The "web" middleware group is defined in your HTTP
| kernel and includes session state, CSRF protection, and more.
|
*/

Route::resource('article', 'ArticleController');

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::auth();

    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
});

Hi Guys I just solved this problem.

This problem is definitely unrelated to laravel and is totally caused by Apache2 settings.

What I did is simply sudo a2enmod rewrite and restart service.
