Laravel subdirectory root not accessible?

Quick question that I am sure someone can answer in about 2 seconds.

I have a Laravel project set up and one of the subdirectories is set up for documentation.

I have the following code set up. 

Route::group(['prefix' => 'docs'], function(){
    route::get('/', function(){
       return redirect('docs.intro');
    });

    Route::get('/intro', ['as' => 'docs.intro', function(){ return view('docs.intro'); }]);
});

When I navigate to "www.site.com/docs/intro" all works fine. However, when I navigate to "www.site.com/docs/" it does not redirect like I was hoping, instead is throws a 403 "forbidden" error. Does anyone know why this is? How can I make this work properly?

Thanks!

If you are on apache, run apache2 -v If it's Apache 2.4.x+

  1. Change

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews to Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews

  1. Change

    Order allow,deny Allow from all to Require all granted

Id it's not 2.4.X try this in htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

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

If you are using nginx :

  1. SSH into your server
  2. sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

  3. Modify the server block to look like this

    server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

root /var/www/laravel/public;    **//Modify this according to your project**
index index.php index.html index.htm;

server_name server_domain_or_IP; **//Modify**

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri /index.php =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
}
}
    1. sudo service nginx restart

That's because you're pointing to a directory that exists, so your webserver is not forwarding the request to Laravel's index.phpfile.

Check your apache / nginx configuration and look for the rewrite rules. If you're using apache, you'll probably find something like:

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

That means that if the directory (-d) or the file (-f) exist, that rewrite won't happen.
