Mostly, you need to have virtual URL points to your app. Try the answers here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15607132/laravel-route-not-working-with-wamp

PHP For Beginners "page not found" using WampServer
I have followed the "php For Beginners" series on laracasts and I have made it to episode 15 "Make A PHP Router" and up to that point I have been using php -s localhost:8888 to spin up a server and it all works fine. Then I decided to open it up in wampserver, so I create the virtual host and I can only reach the home page. The other links give me the
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.46 (Win64) PHP/8.0.10 Server at demo Port 80
Thank you for your help ahead of time.

@MohamedTammam I believe that all that stuff is pre being able to manage the virtual hosts through the Virtual Hosts Management link, and my rewrite_module is checked. Thank you for your reply

To add to this: I am not using laravel we have written a router. I also realize the the router is serving up the / page but not the other pages that are listed as demo/about demo/contact

@lemmon Show the code of your index.php, and router.php file
Level 28
index
require 'functions.php';
require 'router.php';
router
$uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])['path'];
$routes = [
'/' => 'controllers/index.php',
'/about' => 'controllers/about.php',
'/contact' => 'controllers/contact.php'
];
function routeToController($uri, array $routes): void
{
array_key_exists($uri, $routes) ? require $routes[$uri] : abort();
}
/**
* @return void
*/
function abort($code=404): void
{
http_response_code($code);
require "views/{$code}.php";
die();
}
routeToController($uri, $routes);

@Tray2 I revised my previous post, I left that part out.

@lemmon What does the $uri contain?

@Tray2 it does not make it to the router if I echo the $uri for home then die I get / but if I echo the uri for any other page it does not make it to the router.
the other links when I hover over them show demo/about and demo/contact respectively. the root dir is demo but for the index or home page the uri is only /

@lemmon I suggest download the code from here:
https://github.com/laracasts/PHP-For-Beginners-Series
And see if you made any typos.

When I spin up a server with php -S localhost:8888 it all works fine, but in wamp it does not.
Level 28
it is not getting past the index with a complex url but the / works fine.
Level 75
@lemmon added htaccess:
Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
RequestHeader unset Proxy
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /phpb/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php? [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Tweaked:
<?php
//echo "hello";
define('DIR', realpath(__DIR__) . '/');
require 'functions.php';
require 'Database.php';
require 'Response.php';
require 'router.php';
echo DIR;
tweaked router
require DIR . $routes[$uri];
tweaked routes:
'/phpb/about' => '/controllers/about.php',
Clicked About, it works, so app just needs tweaks, I used XAMPP.
phpb is folder I put project.

Im sure there has to be an easier way. Laravel runs on wamp without a problem. based on the code below wamp is handling part of the process in an unorthodox way. That Laravel Routing has figured out.
# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
