Laravel 10 project, doesn't work navigation

Hey!

Besides permissions as GPT suggested, this could be related to a few other things:

1. Ensure that Apache’s mod_rewrite module is enabled. You can enable it by running the following command:

   sudo a2enmod rewrite
   

   After enabling, restart Apache to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl restart apache2
   

2. Laravel uses a .htaccess file in the public directory to rewrite URLs. Ensure the .htaccess file exists and is correctly configured. Here’s the default content for Laravel’s .htaccess file:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
           Options -MultiViews -Indexes
       </IfModule>
   
       RewriteEngine On
   
       # Handle Authorization Header
       RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
       RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
   
       # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
       RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
   
       # Handle Front Controller...
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   

   Ensure this file is present in your public directory.

3. Check your Apache site configuration to allow overrides from the .htaccess file. Edit your site’s configuration file (usually located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/) and ensure the <Directory> directive for your site’s document root (usually the public directory of your Laravel project) looks like this:

   <Directory /var/www/html/your-laravel-project/public>
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride All
       Require all granted
   </Directory>
   

   Replace /var/www/html/your-laravel-project/public with the actual path to your project’s public directory.

4. After making changes to the Apache configuration or the .htaccess file, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Let me know how it goes! Best,

Bobby
