Why Laravel 5 is Redirecting when I put slash at the end of URL?

@Sonu suggest you post your routes

The rewrite rules should normally trim the ending slash and redirect you to the the correct route.

Is your 2ndApp another Laravel app in a subfolder ?

No @RemiC 2ndApp is The Main Folder Where Laravel Is Installed

You should install it so the root of your localhost is the laravel /public directory.

@Sonu your virtualhost must have the public folder as root

@RemiC that seems a bit restrictive - only one Laravel instance can be installed for any domain. The public files for an installation should work from any directory you like. It always did on Laravel 4, so what has changed with L5, apart from the assumption that a domain will be hosting exactly one Laravel installation in the root directory.

Found the solution here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22063520/laravel-slash-after-url-redirects-to-root-folder

Basically the .htaccess that laravel ships with will redirect any matching path with a trailing slash to "/path". You can get away with it using a RewriteBase and setting that rewrite rule to use that base. So now you have this in .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

That needs to be changed (for the OP example) to this:

RewriteBase /2ndApp
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [L,R=301]

This assumes that "2ndApp" is the directory that starts its life as "public" when you first install Laravel.

The RewriteBase would need to be set differently for each installation into different root directories, but does the job.
