Routes don't work correctly at Laravel 5.0 (404 Error)

Question

I switched to Laravel 5.0 and try to introduce myself.

I have a small problem which confuses me:

I use two Controller classes. The first works fine but the second one gets ignored. Could somebody tell me why?

routes.php

<?php
Route::controller('/', 'IndexController');
Route::controller('/rezeptliste', 'RecipelistController');

IndexController.php

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

class IndexController extends Controller {
    public function getIndex() {
        return view('index');
    }
}

RecipelistController

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

class RecipelistController extends Controller {
    public function getIndex() {
        return view('recipelist');
    }
}

When I access / it works perfectly. When I try to access /rezeptliste I get the following error:

NotFoundHttpException in Controller.php line 259:

Answer 1

if you use Route:controller() then you have to mention request type in your controller method too. like this

class UserController extends Controller{
    public function getUserinfo(){
        //
    }

    public function postNewuser(){
        //
    }

}

so route can easily identify your request method.

now you can configure you route

Route::controller('user','UserController');

I think it will work fine

Answer 2

See section Adding Additional Routes To Resource Controllers of the docs

If it becomes necessary for you to add additional routes to a resource controller beyond the default resource routes, you should define those routes before your call to Route::resource:

Route::get('photos/popular', 'PhotoController@method');
Route::resource('photos', 'PhotoController');

Answer 3

The problem here is that in Laravel routes are evaluated in the order listed.

This means that since your very first route '/' matches the route /rezeptliste too, laravel will instead go to the IndexController and look for a method called "rezeptliste".

Instead your routes should be ordered like this:

<?php
Route::controller('/rezeptliste', 'RecipelistController');
Route::controller('/', 'IndexController');

That way your specialized url of /rezeptliste will be "caught" first and sent to the RecipelistController, rather then being caught by the IndexController route.
