Laravel - Basic routing issue

Question

I am new to Laravel and I have encounter some problems when changing the default page of the project.

I have installed Laravel and try to change the route setting

Route::get("/", function(){return view("welcome");})

to

Route::get("/", function(){return view("home");})

. I have added a simple php page home.blade.php in Resources/views but it couldn't display "home" page.

I have also tried to use Controller approach by adding a HomeController and there is a function called "showHomePage" which will returns view("home") but still no luck.

Are there any setting / configuration is needed ? Thank you

Answer 1

you need to clear the compiled view files after changing the template or any view code. ( no need to use command serve)

php artisan view:clear

or delete all files in storage/framework/views

or you should chmod 777 folder storage and chmod 775 vendor.

Answer 2

Thanks for mydo47 suggestion. chmod 777 folder storage and chmod 775 vendor (Apply to all sub-folder recursively) solve the problem.
