Laravel Page Not Found Error 404 Not Found, but route exist in Laravel

The Page Not Found error generally found when your application can not find the required route in your application or website. Following are few common steps to resolve this error.

1. Check Route Definitions

Make sure that the route you are trying to access is defined in the file called routes/web.php or routes/api.php (for API routes) file.

Use the required and correct HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.). into your application for routes:

 Route::get('/your-route', 'YourController@yourMethod'); 

2. Run php artisan route:list

Run php artisan route:list in your terminal.It will display all registered routes. Check if your route appears in the list. If it doesn’t, there might be a typo or the route definition is missing.

3. Clear Route Cache

Laravel caches routes in production mode, which can sometimes cause routing issues. Clear the cache by running the following command :

php artisan route:clear 

After running the command, try accessing the route again.

4. Check Controller and Method

Check the controller and method name referenced in the route file.

5. Correct Web Server Configuration

Check your .htaccess file in the public folder that should be correct.

6. Check your htaccess file

You need to check htaccess file and put following code.

<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>
