Apache Mod Rewrite For Laravel

Question

I have an installation of Laravel on Wampserver. The directory is as follows:

C:\\wamp\\www\\laravel

Now URLs are like this:

http://localhost/

Answer 1

As a newb to WAMP and Laravel, I struggled at bit but did get the virtualhost thing to work on my WIN7PRO 64-bit box. In WAMPSERVER/Apache/hppd.conf at the end of the file, I added:

NameVirtualHost *:80


 DocumentRoot C:/webapp/public
 ServerName webapp
 
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride all
   Order Deny,Allow
   Allow from All
  
 


 DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
 ServerName localhost
 

and I added:

127.0.0.1 webapp

to the hosts file. (I was never successful editing the vhosts files, as many posts on the web suggested.)

These changes allow me to get to my Laravel test app in my browser via

http://webapp
(and also, via just http://127.0.0.1)

and, to get to all my other sites, via:

http://localhost/devsite/whatever..
