I have installed composer on windows 8 and i am using the webserver xampp,

I did the comand composer global require 

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

I even configure env path for composer like this 

set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

Then created the project like this 

Laravel new myproject

I check the file .htaccess in my public folder of my laravel project,

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
    Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On

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

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

I have checked the module activation for url rewriting in apache httpd.conf

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

then i test it and i typed many urls and it gives a page not found ERROR !

Here are the url tested:

  • localhost/laravel/
  • localhost/laravel/public
  • localhost/laravel/myproject/
  • localhost/laravel/myproject/public

Did i miss something, i am quite surprised to fix things for hours to use a popular framework like laravel.

    @franckyfranck You got a very deep structure. I recommend you to use virtual host for this situation. This is where you can start with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4WfrmKNhj4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4WfrmKNhj4) or another option you can Homestead [http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/homestead](http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/homestead) – mininoz Mar 28 '15 at 06:23
  • @anant kumar singh so you think it could be a recent bug, i remember i installed laravel already on xampp some month ago and it worked well but this time i have no idea what happened. – franckyfranck Mar 28 '15 at 07:52
  • @mininoz thank you i will try to do that for the moment so Homestead is advice by laravel i will try that. – franckyfranck Mar 28 '15 at 07:52

From the comment of my question we conclude that laravel has a bug with xampp and the bug was reported 3 days ago on the official bug tracking forum from laravel

Also we have found that my folder structure is too long and it could generate conflict within the configuration of xampp, the advice was to use a virtual host solution, the one advised by laravel is Homestead, so let's try with homestead !

Good luck to everyone who need to fix their xampp server to work with laravel maybe try to use another webserver instead.
