Maybe I miss something small , but I really get lost in here. I made a virtual host to tun laravel: I've created file in etc/apache2/site-available:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName laravel5.local
DocumentRoot "/var/www/ProjectFiles/NewProjects/laravel/public"
<Directory "/var/www/ProjectFiles/NewProjects/laravel/public">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And in site-enabled this is enabled In etc/hosts I've: 127.0.0.1 laravel5.local
So: "laravel5.local" shows laravel5 default page. "laravel5.local/index.php" shows the same.
The problem is that I've changed this page (welcome blade) And if I try this : "localhost/ProjectFiles/NewProjects/Laravel/public/" I see the change I've made
Please note that if I do : php artisan serve and try on "localhost:8000" I still do not see that change, so the problem should not be in a mistake made in the virtualhost. And the strangest thing is that all this works perfect in Windows. Thanks in advance
P.S. and php artisan route:clear do not help
In your VirtualHost section you wrote /laravel/ with lower case L in the text with localhost you wrote it with upper case L. Make sure you have the right upper/lower case in Linux.
Windows doesn't care about it but Linux does!
