Dynamic Virtual Host gives 500 error with Laravel - php

Question

I'm trying to make a dynamic developing environment with virtual host.
Now i have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\%1\public"
# available aliases to use
ServerAlias *.dev
</VirtualHost>
And it works for the default route of Laravel:
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('home.index');
});
But any other route will give me a 500 error of to many internal redirects.
I use Laravel 5.2 without any changes at all except for the routes.php and some default changes.
When I assign the domain like this as VirtualHost it works all just fine:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.dev
VirtualDocumentRoot none
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\example\public"
</VirtualHost>
How can I fix this problem so I can use dynamic domain names so I don't have to add all domains manually.
Thank you in advance,
Stefan Fransen
Edit
When I use this:
http://example.dev/index.php/test
The page is loading correctly but this is not what I want.
So how do i remove the index.php from the url? i've checked and al modules are loaded correctly this is my .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# # Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
# # Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
Edit
Found out that when I changed RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
But I still don't understand why it does work on a manual added vhost but not on a dynamically generated vhost, does someone have a explanation for that?

Answer 1

I guess you rewrite module (mod_rewrite) is disabled. Check it in apache.conf
Maybe section Pretty URLs can help you.

Answer 2

I got the same problem. I found a solution for it.
Go to .htaccess file on root directory if it is not in root directory then it will be available in public folder cut from there and paste into the root directory
Change the following code.
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
