Question

Coming from CodeIgniter, I’d like to learn Laravel.
But I’m breaking my head 2 days over a (small) problem.

When I browse to the URL “laravel.app”, It shows me the folder content instead of the index-page of Laravel.

These are my settings:

Virtual Host:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/laravel/public"
 ServerName laravel.app

 <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/laravel/public">
  Options All
  AllowOverride All
 </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

.htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 Options +FollowSymLinks
 RewriteEngine On
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I added “Order allow, deny” and “Allow from all”, else I get a 404.
What could be the problem?

Regards

I would verify public/index.php exists, and then try adding this line to your .htaccess file.

DirectoryIndex index.php

You may also want to tag this with “mamp”. Hope you find it!
