Yes solution, the link in that answer has a guide to properly setup laravel. That guide works on shared hosting and in development in xampp and wamp as well.

I suggest you to use docker or vagrant.
Level 75
@hidayat3676 the guide are example folder names, you use your names.
what is not working, show code,
Route, controller, view
At least throw us a bone.
laravel project not running on xampp
i get the main page
That means laravel is working on xampp.

Laravel doesn't come with an .htacess file out of the box and XAMPP uses Apache so you need one, you have to create one in the root folder
See the Configuration docs here for the contents of the file https://laravel.com/docs/5.0/configuration#pretty-urls

@calder12 ver 5.6 doesn't include an htaccess file, 5.5 did.
Level 17
hi @hidayat3676 I use xampp and mamp (on windows 10) almost every day and it's working perfectly with or without virtual host... So can you show the code for your route (and/or controller if you used one) and the path/filename.blade.php to your view ?
Level 3
@jlrdw ah, I didn't realize that, I don't see that he mentioned the version he's running, and given he gets his main page but no other routes I still feel the .htaccess is the issue.
Honestly XAMPP is useless as far as I'm concerned, Homestead or Windows Linux Subsystem are far superior solutions, and Homestead just makes this a non-issue entirely.
Level 75
@calder12 I don't know version OP is using. I have ver 5.5. I was asking you, does ver 5.6 now not come with an out of the box htaccess?
Level 67
Sure 5.6 comes with .htaccess and is easy to check. Just look at the repo.
Level 17
FYI, I never changed or created any .htaccess file with xampp, ampps, mamp etc on windows 10, with Laravel 5.4 5.5 5.6, and never got any problem
Level 75
@KNietzsche I have never had problems neither. I set up all following @Snapey guide
http://novate.co.uk/deploy-laravel-5-on-shared-hosting-from-heart-internet
I setup development and shared host that way, never had an asset, session, or some of these other problems I see floating around on the forum.
I beg people to
Follow the guide, it works.
Oh I make one change in htaccess:
RewriteBase /whatever_here/

@Cronix ah, so it does. Never mind :)

Xampp is running apache
You need to set the document root to be the project public folder.
there are loads of tutorials on this.
