Laravel throws 404 on site

[SilvioMarijic]

Hi , ive installed the pongo cms on laravel ( i folowd the guide from pongocms.com ) and when the cms::setup finishes i got message to visit my site at http://localhost/laravel/public, when i navigate to that url Laravel gives me 404 but i when i point my browser to http://localhost/laravel/public/home it works

I'm having a similar problem:

I've installed in pongo.dev locally on XAMPP, and have battled past the mysql socket issue with XAMPP. Pongo reported installing correctly, and I can login and edit blog posts at /cms, but I get a 404 at:

• /
• /home
• /blog
• /blog/blog-post

there are no errors in my log... my bundles.php file is a cut and paste from the pongo homepage, and my routes file was completely commented out... if i add a route for / then my little comment displays...

I'm at a loss! any suggestions?

The pongo readme displays 1.2 - RC1

Please update PongoCMS to last version. Found and resolved some issues on Windows environment.

php artisan cms::backup update

[ptim]

Tx @redbaron76 ..

I started over, and found some steps not mentioned in the install guide:

• get laravel working
• run php artisan migrate:install
• install Pongo using php artisan bundle:install pongocms
• edit bundles.php as instructed
• run php artisan cms:setup

Now Pongo is running smoothly!

Whether or not step 2 is absolutely necessary, I don't know, but it did highlight the error:

Warning: PDO::__construct(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock ) in /Users/timosborn/Sites/pongo.dev/laravel/database/connectors/mysql.php on line 33

This issue is discussed here: Laravel - setting up migrations Adding a symlink as described worked for me (adding the 'unix_socket' db configuration didn't).

Mac 10.8.2 XAMPP 1.7.3 Laravel 3.2.13 PongoCMS 1.2 RC1

That sounds strange. PongoCMS setup task already performs a "php artisan migrate:install" behind the scenes.

I think this issue could be related to that sock issue you highlight in the forum, probably external to and "above" of PongoCMS bundle itself.

Anyway thanks for reporting this.

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu/Nginx. I am seeing a 404 at '/' of my site, but /cms work great.

I saw your fix here, in this thread: "Please update PongoCMS to last version. Found and resolved some issues on Windows environment.

php artisan cms::backup update"

I tried all of these... no success. I used artisan to install. What am I doing wrong?

[ptim]

@joe-3coast My issue was resolved by doing a php artisan migrate:install before installing pongo.. see my comment above - good luck!

[725Productions]

ptim - thx for your reply. Actually I found that my issue was caused by not setting a url in my application.php config file. The base Laravel install does not require it, but PongoCMS does; therefore I never put in before. Mostly because I'm not that experienced yet... But I digress, now I have this 404 problem solved, on the next problem: all my images servers with /cms/image/resize are return with 404. Troubleshooting fun!!

[ptim]

lol! best wishes :)

thanks @joe-3coast it works :)

Has anyone had further joy with this issue? I've tried the steps mentioned above (running: php artisan migrate:install) and this doesn't resolve my Server Error: 404 (Not Found) error when I go to URL for the frontend. All the installations seemed to have completed successfully. I also get a Not Found going to /cms. I have included a URL in my laravel config... I have tried everything and I'm at the end of my tether with Pongo CMS! Please help :-)

Have you set up application url in setting?

[gnarlymedia]

Hi there, yes I have, I put 'http://localhost/~[myusername]/pongo-1/public' - do you know if I'm supposed to put this or the project root ie 'http://localhost/~[myusername]/pongo-1/'?

[gnarlymedia]

Also, I've noticed that in the config that goes into bundles.php, the two lines:

            //CMS METHODS
            'CmsRender'                 => '(:bundle)/libraries/render.php',
            'CmsUtility'                => '(:bundle)/libraries/utilities.php',

don't match with with the filenames in those folders which are 'cmsrender.php' and 'cmsutility.php'. Changing either one to match the other before running 'php artisan cms::setup' doesn't seem to help any.

Also, curiously, the setup seems to remove those lines in bundles.php.

Does anyone know if that would affect it? Thanks

[justmyfreak]

I thing you have to setup into something like http://pongo.dev. It worked for me

[gnarlymedia]

Ah, are you using something like MAMP or XAMPP?

[justmyfreak]

XAMPP on windows

I had the 404 pages also, I did all the suggestions that where stated before but the problem was in the application/config/application.php i had to change 'index' => 'index.php', to 'index' => '', The system is searching for /home in the pongo_pages tables but uses the full path to search for it so it will never find the needed page. I hope this helps someone.

[gnarlymedia]

Thanks so much @govereem! That fixed my problem in one step! Very much appreciated, hope you have good luck. Cheers Simon

I fired up a fresh cloud server for my first PongoCMS installation and also got the 404 errors when trying to access /cms ; /blogs ; etc. In my case the problem was that the server image did not have Apache's mod_rewrite enabled by default.
