Do you really need the subdomain called "sub" in the url? Maybe that's causing problems?
Just a quick tip on class naming: Don't use underscores for class names.

Why do I always get a 404 error for any route I create?
Hi, I apologize for being a rookie. This is my first time using frameworks and I chose Laravel.
installed the composer and created my first project as per the docs http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/installation
when I go to https://sub.example.com/dev/public. As I should, I get this message "Laravel 5"
However, I added the following route to my routes.php file
Route::get('authors', array('as' => 'authors', 'uses' => 'Authors_Controller@getIndex') );
Then created a new controller called Authors_Controller. and here is my controller code
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class Authors_Controller extends Controller
{
//
public function getIndex(){
return view('authors.index')->withName('Mike A');
}
}
finally I created a new veiw called "index" (i.e. index.blade.php file) inside a folder called "authors" to look like this and here is my view's code hello {{ $name }}
However, I keep getting 404 error when I got to https://sub.example.com/dev/public/authors
What I could be doing wrong?
Yes, the mod_rewrite is enabled.

What happens when you open this URL? https://sub.example.com/dev/public/index.php/authors

the main URL that point to the Apache server is https://sub.example.com/dev/

@thepsion5 that gave me the results I need. "Hello Mike A"
What do I need to fix this problem?

@malhayek Check the section of the Laravel docs about enabling pretty URLs. Sometimes the default .htaccess file doesn't work depending on your server's configuration: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/#installation
If the replacement .htaccess file doesn't work, it probably means that url rewriting is disabled or improperly configured on your apache server.

@thepsion5 I change my .htaccess code from
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
to
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
but that did not work.
When I execute this code on a separate page
if(in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules())){
echo 'Enabled';
} else {
echo 'Disabled';
}
I get "Enabled" for output.
When I enabled it I only removed the # signed from the line below "then restarted Apache"
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Was there anything else that I would need to do?

Did you enable AllowOverride for your DocumentRoot? If you don't do that, then .htaccess has no effect on mod_rewrite.
Not sure what OS you are running but on a standard Ubuntu box the settings are something like below:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/yoursite.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin youremail@yahoo.com
ServerName yoursite.com
ServerAlias www.yoursite.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/yoursite.com/public"
<Directory /var/www/yoursite.com/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

@roosevelt , thank you for your comment. My OS is windows 2008 r2
I don't have access to the server. But if needed I can share my apache config file in the morning.
Level 6
it finally worked!! thank you @roosevelt AllowOverride was set to None
Level 1
I had same problem and I solved it by the solution given by @roosevelt. AllowOverride All was required to add in apache conf.
