Laravel 5.1 Route Object not found - php

Question

Please help me, I'm working on a Laravel using the latest version of xampp & do not know what the cause of my problem is.
This route is working fine:
Route::get('/', function () {
return 'aa';
});
This route gives an error "Object not found!":
Route::get('about', function () {
return 'aaa';
});
httpd.vhosts:
<VirtualHost test.loc:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/apps/test.loc/public"
ServerName test.loc
<Directory "C:/xampp/apps/test.loc/public">
#AllowOverride All - when I use this, I get a "Access forbidden!" for all routes
Require all granted - this works for the main route, other routes give "errors".
</Directory>
/public/.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]

Answer 1

I faced exactly the same problem, but finally this worked for me.
.....
<Directory "C:/xampp/apps/test.loc/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Add this to your httpd.vhosts file
<VirtualHost test.loc:80>
ServerName test.loc
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/apps/test.loc/public"
<Directory "C:/xampp/apps/test.loc/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Have you tried adding a slash before the name?
like this:
Route::get('/about', function () {
return 'aaa';
});
