Route doesn't work on my laravel 5.1 project - php

Question

I'm trying to define routes to access to some views, but it doesn't work :/
Route::group(['prefix' => 'messages'], function () {
Route::get('/', ['as' => 'messages', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#index']);
Route::get('create', ['as' => 'messages.create', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#create']);
Route::post('/', ['as' => 'messages.store', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#store']);
Route::get('{id}', ['as' => 'messages.show', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#show']);
Route::put('{id}', ['as' => 'messages.update', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#update']);
});
I'm always redirected to the home view ('/') of my project when I'm logged.
If I try to access as guest for example : http://myproject.dev/messages I receive a 404 error !
The package that I try to put in my project is : https://github.com/cmgmyr/laravel-messenger
I've installed it on a fresh installation of laravel 5.1 and it's work, but on my project it doesn't work !
My project is in local with MAMP PRO.
With the command php artisan route:list, I can see that routes exists !
EDIT : My routes for authentification was bad !
Route::controller('/','Auth\AuthController') is not a good solution !

To use the MessagesController the user must be authenticated. That means that the user must be logged. The idea is that if a user is not logged he must be redirect to the login page. To make this you must add the auth middleware to the Route::group. The auth middleware will detect if the user is logged and if is not logged it will be redirect to the login page.
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth', 'as' => 'messages.', 'prefix' => 'messages'], function () {
Route::get('', ['as' => 'index', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#index']);
Route::get('create', ['as' => 'create', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#create']);
Route::post('', ['as' => 'store', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#store']);
Route::get('{id}', ['as' => 'show', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#show']);
Route::put('{id}', ['as' => 'update', 'uses' => 'MessagesController#update']);
});
I think that is this the error

I still can't comment, so I'll write an answer.
I never was able to put a 'root' route inside a Route's group. Laravel need's something there, you can't use "/" or "".
Seeing your code, I suggest you to use a resource view.
Route::resource('messages', 'MessagesController');
It will generate all your routes. I hope it helps.
