All routes except main “/” give 404 not found – LARAVEL

After Laravel code development on ec2 machine I faced the following error:

all routes except main “/” give 404 not found

In order to resolve the routes issue we have to perform two steps as I have given below:

Steps

• Enable rewrite_module
• Change the AllowOverride from None to All

Enable rewrite_module

Login to you ec2 machine and modify the following file:

Open terminal and type a2enmod rewrite, It will enable your mod_rewrite module for Apache.

ubuntu@localhost:~$ a2enmod rewrite

Change the AllowOverride from None to All

File Path: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Please choose your favorite file editing tool like nano, VI and VIM etc.

Default values given below:

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

After editing the directives from None to All

———————————————————–
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
———————————————————–

Now please restart the apache server, like below:

ubuntu@localhost:~$ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
