php - laravel controller doesn't work -

1. i'm following codehappy: using controllers learn use laravel controllers, in pc "myproject/" points "wamp/www/laravel/public" folder, when try "myproject/account/login" browser shows:

---

not found

the requested url /account/login not found on server.

---

2. obviously, browser tries find "account" folder instead of using controller, created "account" folder under "public" , tried again, guess proved right. should config anywhere before using controllers?

my code:

application/controllers/account.php

<?php class account_controller extends base_controller {     public function action_index(){         echo "this profile page.";     }     public function action_login(){         echo "this login form.";     }     public function action_logout(){         echo "this logout action.";     } } 

/application/routes.php

    route::get('/', function()     {         return view::make('home.index');     });     route::controller('account'); 

@phill sparks has right (rightfully so! he's been using laravel ages). if browser reporting 404 server, unless removed 404 event, request did not go through laravel.

try /index.php/account/login. if works, know rewrite rules botched. if doesn't work either, have more serious issue @ hand.

if using apache, should find in htaccess file rewrite rules laravel. if cannot load mod_rewrite through htaccess, you'll need migrate them server config.

if using nginx, need similar in server block:

    location / {             try_files $uri $uri/ @laravel;     }     location @laraveldesktop {             rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 last;     } 

or if in subdirectory

    location /my/subdir/ {             try_files $uri $uri/ @laravel;     }     location @laravel {             rewrite ^/my/subdir/(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 last;     }
