新控制器错误Laravel

I was testing out while learning Laravel 5, creating a new controller, but I do get a strange error, when it is supposed to work fine. Here it is:

I created a new folder Pages in the app/Http/Controllers/ directory, and added the controller ContactController into it:
app/Http/Controllers/ContactController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Pages;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class ContactController extends Controller {

    public function getIndex() {
        return 'This is the Contact page.';
    }
}

and then I created a route in the routes/web file:
routes/web.php

Route::controller('contact', 'Pages\ContactController');

Strangely, when I access the /contact URL -> http://laravel.devpeaks.com/public/contact, I get:
BadMethodCallException in compiled.php line 6271: Method controller does not exist.

1. You should adjust your nginx/apache config in a way that root directory is pointed to /public.
2. Route::controller is deprecated since Laravel-5.2. You should use Route::resource and name rename the method from getIndex to index. If you use Laravel-5.1 implement the first point only.

Route::controller() was deprecated in 5.2 and was removed in 5.3. Try this route instead:

Route::resource('contact', 'Pages\ContactController');

Then run php artisan route:list command to make sure all routes exists.

Also, you should fix web server settings by pointing it to public directory instead of Laravel project root. After doing this use normal URLs like domain.com/contact.
