Someone has seen something like this? Only in server side, I load my admin page, it shows up normaly, but in network it's receiving a 404, I cant login, cause the route for login post also receive a 404, no php errors and on local it works perfect
The site http://engenhariamrc.com.br/admin
Have you changed you APP_URL in your production .env to match your domain name as it defaults as below
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost
Make sure you also set APP_ENV TO production and APP_DEBUG to false.
If you have cached yiur config you will need to run php artisan config:cache to update the cached settings
Thats odd.. a 404 but the page loads?
@D9705996 yes, I checked right now, the APP_URL is engenhariamrc.com.br
@D9705996 hmm mine actually true, I'll change to test
@Snapey So weird, I never saw this, I updated my question so you can visit the page and see by yourself
@D9705996 didn't work, I even have added the http before the url that was missing
Can you share the code from the function that loads yours admin/login view. It sounds like there might be something in the code thats returning a 404 instead of a 200
@D9705996 sure, I'll update my question, but on local it works normaly
Can you try in your local server in your CMD as like below and show the error
php artisan serve
@D9705996 actually, it's not necessary, I emptied the file, leting just a "test" and it keep geting 404
@munazzil In local it works normally
Is there any entries in you apache logs that might help identify why a 404 instead of 200 is being returned?
@D9705996 I'm hosting my site on king.host I'll ask for a apache log, cause I just have access to a php errors file that is empty
That is the response about the apache log from my server

Have you tried php artisan config:clear and php artisan view:clear?
Looking at your file path (not url) I would expect to see a public folder (between www and admin)
/home/engenhariamrc/www/admin/login
How did you deploy your application?
also clear your browser cache when making url changes.
@cronix yes, I've already cleared all the caches
@d9705996 It has a public folder after www
And here is my www/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^ [N]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
</IfModule>
And another one inside public folder www/public/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
You should not have a .htaccess file in www/ because all requests should be landing in the www/public folder if this is not the case then reset your document root to the public folder.
Otherwise.... you're on your own!
@snapey Wait, but if www is the default folder for the hosting, how can I make it become www/public without using .htaccess? I saw many people moving the content from public to the root, but that's not corret, I thought that the .htaccess way was the correct, I acctually made a few sites this way
My hosting don't allow me to change the root folder, it is www, It was too hard to find a server that has php 7.2, now I need to find one that I can change the root folder with a good price
The only folder that should be on the public-side is the public folder of Laravel. Everything else should be out of the document root of your web server.
Who is your hosting provider? Maybe I can see some information on what they use and guide you from that?
@scottplunkett I read about it, I'm from brazil I belive you may not undestand the site, https://king.host/ I'm talking with the support, because Laravel is in the list of supported frameworks
@SPACEDOG4 - You would be correct on that assumption. :)
If they support Laravel maybe a good place to ask for some help would be the web host's support channels. Without knowing the underlying structure I cannot say for certain what actions to take.
See if you can load any files into /home/engenhariamrc/
If you can, put your laravel framework there, and put the contents of Laravel's public folder into www
www then plays the role of your public folder
Then you don't need to change any files or play tricks with .htaccess - all can be standard.
as @snapey said:
put your files outside your public folder www
right now you can go to
http://engenhariamrc.com.br/admin/login -> 404 http://engenhariamrc.com.br/public/admin/login -> 200
Upon entering www, www/.htaccess 'process' the request and sends it to www/public/.htaccess which sends it to www/public/index.php, which processes the request
try removing/renaming www/.htaccess and hit the two links before (first one must be not working anymore)
Oh finallyyy, the three of you were corrects, I needed to put the content of public into www and create another folder outside, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH for helping me, I'm going to give the best answer to the first one that solved my problem.
I love this community
@SPACEDOG4 - Turn off error reporting in production. If I visit http://engenhariamrc.com.br I can see everything! :)
